Radiation Detection and Scintillator Technologies

The transverse-target single-spin asymmetry for inclusive deep-inelastic scattering with effectively unpolarized electron and positron beams off a transversely polarized hydrogen target was measured, with the goal of searching for a two-photon exchange signal in the kinematic range 0.007<xB<0.9 and 0.25GeV2<Q2 1GeV2 and Q2<1GeV2, and for both electron and positron beams, the asymmetries are found to be consistent with zero within statistical and systematic uncertainties, which are of order 10−3 for the asymmetries integrated over xB.
