Phenomenology of single-spin effects in hadron production at high energies

Within a phenomenological model, experimental data on the transverse single-spin asymmetry (A (N) ) and polarization (P (N) ) of hadrons are analyzed for 68 different inclusive reactions in hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus, nucleus-nucleus, and lepton-nucleon interactions. A mechanism that is based on the interaction of the chromomagnetic moment of massive constituent quarks with the effective nonuniform chromomagnetic field of QCD strings formed after the initial color exchange is considered as the origin of single-spin effects. Quark-spin precession in the chromomagnetic field is taken into account. Dynamical masses and anomalous chromomagnetic moments are estimated for constituent u, d, s, c, and b quarks.
