Abstract
Single-spin asymmetry appears due to the interference of single and double gluon exchange between protons. A heavy fermion model is used to describe the jet production in the interaction of gluon with the proton implying the further averaging over its mass. As usually in one-spin correlations, the imaginary part of the double gluon exchange amplitude play the relevant role. The asymmetry in the inclusive set-up with the pion tagged in the fragmentation region of the polarized proton does not depend on the center of mass energy in the limits of its large values. The lowest order radiative corrections to the polarized and unpolarized contributions to the differential cross sections are calculated in the leading logarithmic approximation. In general, a coefficient at logarithm of the ratio of cms energy to the pion mass depends on transversal momentum of the pion. This ratio of the lowest order contribution to the asymmetry may be interpreted as the partial contribution to the odderon intercept. The ratio of the relevant contributions in the unpolarized case can be associated with the partial contribution to the pomeron intercept. The numerical results given for the model describe the jet as a heavy fermion decay fragments.
