С INTRODUCTION
Single spin asymmetry
of charge hadron ( , , p andp) production by 40 GeV proton beam with 40% transverse polarization off nuclei (С, Сu) was measured by FOcusing Double Arm Spectrometer (FODS).
The measurements were carried out for hadrons with high xT (900 in c.m.s)
and with high xF (one arm at 70 mrad and the other arm at 250 mrad ).
The results are presented for high xT processes.

С POLIRIZED BEAM
60-70 GeV proton beam, 1013 ppp, hits Be target T. Produced neutral - hyperons are separated by magnet, following decay -+p collimator selects p.
The intensity of the polarized beam on the spectrometer target (T1) is 3107 ppp, spill 1.3 sec, p=40 GeV/c, p/p= 4.5%, the transverse polarization 40%. Polarization direction is reversed each 18 min (takes 30 sec) to minimize time–dependent drifts in apparatus. Vertical magnets fix beam position on the T1 . + contamination ≤ 1.5 %. Beam monitoring – S, IC (intensity), Č (composition), IC, HB (trajectory). Targets – LH -0.05 int; C and Cu – 0.1 int.

СSUMMARYSUMMARY
pT–dependence of AN for +, – and K+ shows oscillation in central region for pp, pC and pCu collisions. AN reaches maximum and then drops to zero or even changes its sign.
First data for K– and p show zero AN for pp, pC and pCu collisions as expected due to absence of valence quarks from polarized protons.
AN for protons in pC and pCu collisions is consistent with zero within the experimental errors.
Data processing for polarized proton fragmentation region is under way.
