Abstract
Reported here are transverse single-spin asymmetries () in the production of charged hadrons as a function of transverse momentum () and Feynman- () in polarized , , and collisions at . The measurements have been performed at forward and backward rapidity () over the range of and . A nonzero asymmetry is observed for positively charged hadrons at forward rapidity () in collisions, whereas the and results show smaller asymmetries. This finding provides new opportunities to investigate the origin of transverse single-spin asymmetries and a tool to study nuclear effects in collisions.
