Svenne %J Physics %D 2000 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/S0375-9474(01)00442-0 %X We have calculated the proton analyzing power A_{y0} of the pion-production reaction from pd collisions for one energy close to threshold and for another in the region of the $\Delta$-resonance. A fair reproduction of the experimental data could be obtained in both cases with a model which includes isoscalar and isovector $\pi N$ rescatterings in s waves, as well as the p-wave rescattering mechanisms mediated by the $\pi NN$ and $\pi N \Delta$ vertices. For the analyzing power at threshold we found that the initial-state interaction (ISI) is also quite important. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/nucl-th/0006027v1
