We calculate the target normal single-spin asymmetry caused by two-photon exchange in inclusive electron-nucleon scattering in the resonance region. Our analysis uses the 1/N c expansion of low-energy QCD and combines N and Δ intermediate and final states using the contracted SU (4) spin-flavor symmetry. The normal spin asymmetry obtained in leading-order accuracy in 1/N c has magnitude∼ 10− 2 and different sign in ep and en scattering. It can be measured in electron scattering at lab energies∼ 0.5–1.5 GeV and provides a clean probe of two-photon exchange dynamics.
