Gs. Averichev et al., PION ASYMMETRY IN D-UP-ARROW-]PI(+(A)-)+X PROCESSES AT PION-EMISSION ANGLES NEAR THETA(PI)=90-DEGREES/, Physics of atomic nuclei, 60(10), 1997, pp. 1643-1649
The vector analyzing power of inclusive pions produced in collisions o
f polarized deuterons with various targets (H and C) at angles of abou
t 90 degrees in the laboratory frame is measured for the first time at
incident-beam momenta from 3 to 9 GeV/c, The measurements are perform
ed at the synchrophasotron installed at JINR (Dubna). A value of the v
ector analyzing power and the pi(+) and pi(-) asymmetries of opposite
signs are observed in d up arrow + H --> pi(+/-) + X reactions at rela
tively low beam momenta and pion momenta in the range 300-350 MeV/c, E
vidence for nonzero values of the vector analyzing power are obtained
in d up arrow + C pi(+/-) + X reactions. The results of Monte Carlo si
mulations indicate that the kinematical region where the analyzing pow
er is found to be large is dominated by channels featuring intermediat
e Delta isobars.
