Measurement of the Target-Normal Single-Spin Asymmetry in Deep-Inelastic Scattering from the Reaction
Physical review letters, 2014•APS
We report the first measurement of the target-normal single-spin asymmetry in deep-inelastic
scattering from the inclusive reaction He 3↑(e, e′) X on a polarized He 3 gas target.
Assuming time-reversal invariance, this asymmetry is strictly zero in the Born approximation
but can be nonzero if two-photon-exchange contributions are included. The experiment,
conducted at Jefferson Lab using a 5.89 GeV electron beam, covers a range of 1.7< W< 2.9
GeV, 1.0< Q 2< 4.0 GeV 2 and 0.16< x< 0.65. Neutron asymmetries were extracted using the …

We report the first measurement of the target-normal single-spin asymmetry in deep-inelastic scattering from the inclusive reaction on a polarized gas target. Assuming time-reversal invariance, this asymmetry is strictly zero in the Born approximation but can be nonzero if two-photon-exchange contributions are included. The experiment, conducted at Jefferson Lab using a 5.89 GeV electron beam, covers a range of , and . Neutron asymmetries were extracted using the effective nucleon polarization and measured proton-to- cross-section ratios. The measured neutron asymmetries are negative with an average value of for invariant mass , which is nonzero at the level. Our measured asymmetry agrees both in sign and magnitude with a two-photon-exchange model prediction that uses input from the Sivers transverse momentum distribution obtained from semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering.
