We have measured the left-right asymmetry for the inclusive production of ..pi../sup + -/, K/sup + -/, and protons in proton-proton and proton-deuteron collisions at 11.75 GeV/c. The measurements, utilizing the polarized proton beam at the Argonne zero-gradient synchrotron, cover a wide range of kinematic variables (u between 0.6 and - 1.5 (GeV/c)/sup 2/ and x between 0.1 and 0.9 for meson production, t between - 0.2 and - 2.0 (GeV/c)/sup 2/ and x between - 0.25 and 0.75 for proton production). There is considerable angular structure in the pion-production data but not in the kaon or proton processes. Proton production alone is clearly sensitive to the isotopic spin of the target particle. A simple phenomenological model of baryon-exchange dominance successfully relates the inclusive pion asymmetries to the asymmetries in backward pion-nucleon elastic scattering. A triple-Regge model for the inclusive proton asymmetries is also discussed.
