We study the single transverse-spin asymmetry for inclusive light-hadron productions in the protonproton collision, p " p ! hX (h ¼ , K, ), for the RHIC kinematics based on the twist-3 mechanism in the collinear factorization. The analysis includes all the contributions from the soft-gluon pole and the soft-fermion pole for the twist-3 quark-gluon correlation functions in the transversely polarized proton. After discussing the flavor decomposition and the P T -dependence of the asymmetry obtained in the previous analysis at the center-of-mass energy ffiffiffi S p ¼ 62:4 and 200 GeV, we will give a prediction for the asymmetry at ffiffiffi S p ¼ 500 GeV and also for the -meson production. We found slightly smaller asymmetry at ffiffiffi S p ¼ 500 GeV for AE;0 and K þ compared with those at the lower energies. The asymmetry for the -meson turned out to be significantly larger than that for 0 .
