Measurement of single spin asymmetry in eta meson production in polarized proton-proton and poalrized antiproton-proton interactions in the beam fragmentation region at 200-GeV/c

We present experimental results on measuring a single spin asymmetry in eta-meson production in the interaction of transversely polarized protons and antiprotons at p(lab) = 200 GeV/c with a proton target in the region 0.2 < x(F) < 0.7 for p up arrow p, 0.3 < x(F) < 0.7 for (p) over bar up arrow p and 0.7 < p(T) < 2.0 GeV/c. A comparison of single spin asymmetries in pi- and eta-meson production is made
