Özet

We calculate the asymmetries for the processes gamma + p --> Lambda(c)(+) (Sigma(c)(+)) + (D-0) over bar and gamma + p --> Lambda(c)(+)(Sigma(c)(+)) + (D*) over bar, induced by circularly polarized photons on a polarized proton target in the framework of an effective Lagrangian model. We found large and positive values for the asymmetry induced by the z-component of the proton polarization, in a wide energy region, from threshold up to E-gamma = 70 GeV In the case of pseudoscalar meson photoproduction, the predictions are qualitatively model-independent. For D*-photoproduction, there is a strong dependence of the asymmetries on NLambda(c)D(D*)-coupling constants. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
