The polarized proton beam at the Argonne ZGS was used to measure left-right asymmetries in the processes p up arrow + p ..-->.. ..pi../sup + -/, p, K/sup + -/, d + X at p/sub 0/ = 6 and 11.8 GeV/c and x identical with p*/sub l//p*/sub max/ = 0.1 to 0.9. For both pion charges, the asymmetries show considerable but different structure in u, the square of the four-momentum transfer between the incident proton and the outgoing pion. The data suggest that pions produced at large x in pp collisions result from a baryon exchange process. The asymmetries for inelastic proton scattering are about an order of magnitude smaller than those for pion production. The kaon asymmetries show indications of being sizeable but structureless.
