Abstract
We show that in the McLerran-Venugopalan model an axial asymmetrical valence quark distributions in the transverse plane of a transversely polarized proton can give rise to a spin-dependent odderon. Such polarized odderon is responsible for the transverse single spin asymmetries for jet production in the backward region of pp collisions and open charm production in the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering process.
