Abstract

We report a measurement of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry A{sub LL} and the differential cross section for inclusive midrapidity jet production in polarized proton collisions at {radical}(s)=200 GeV. The cross section data cover transverse momenta 5<p{sub T}<50 GeV/c and agree with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD evaluations. The A{sub LL} data cover 5<p{sub T}<17 GeV/c and disfavor at 98% C.L. maximal positive gluon polarization in the polarized nucleon.

Longitudinal double-spin asymmetry and cross section for inclusive jet production in polarized proton collisions at {radical}{ovr s} = 200 GeV.

Krueger, K. ; Spinka, H. M. ; Underwood, D. G. ; ... - Phys. Rev. Lett.

We report a measurement of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry A{sub LL} and the differential cross section for inclusive midrapidity jet production in polarized proton collisions at {radical}s = 200 GeV. The cross section data cover transverse momenta 5 < p{sub T} < 50 GeV/c and agree with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD evaluations. The A{sub LL} data cover 5 < p{sub T} < 17 GeV/c and disfavor at 98% C.L. maximal positive gluon polarization in the polarized nucleon.

Longitudinal double-spin asymmetry and cross section for inclusive neutral pion production at midrapidity in polarized proton collisions {radical}{ovr s} = 200 GeV.

Abelev, B. I. ; Aggarwal, M. M. ; Ahammed, Z. ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

We report a measurement of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry A{sub LL} and the differential cross section for inclusive {pi}{sup 0} production at midrapidity in polarized proton collisions at {radical}s = 200 GeV. The cross section was measured over a transverse momentum range of 1 < p{sub T} < 17 GeV/c and found to be in good agreement with a next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculation. The longitudinal double-spin asymmetry was measured in the range of 3.7 < p{sub T} < 11 GeV/c and excludes a maximal positive gluon polarization in the proton.

Measurement of the double longitudinal spin asymmetry in inclusive jet production in polarized p+p collisions at {radical}(s) = 200 GeV

Kiryluk, J. - AIP Conference Proceedings

We present preliminary results for the first measurements of the double longitudinal spin asymmetry ALL in inclusive jet production at mid-rapidity in polarized proton-proton collisions at {radical}(s) = 200GeV. The data amount to {approx} 0 5 pb-1 collected at RHIC in 2003 and 2004 with beam polarizations up to 45%. The jet transverse energies are in the range of 5 pT 17GeV c. The data are consistent with theoretical evaluations using deep-inelastic scattering parametrizations for gluon polarization in the nucleon, and tend to disfavor large positive values of gluon polarization.

Measurement of the Double Longitudinal Spin Asymmetry in Inclusive Jet Production in Polarized p-p Collisions at {radical}s = 200 GeV at STAR

Relyea, David - AIP Conference Proceedings

One of the primary goals of the STAR spin program at RHIC is the measurement of the double longitudinal asymmetry ALL in inclusive jet production. This measurement will allow STAR to determine the polarized gluon distribution function {delta}G in the Bjorken x region of 0.03<x<0.3. Inclusive jet production is a theoretically desirable way to measure {delta}G, as it is independent of fragmentation functions. This contribution presents STAR's preliminary 2005 measurements of ALL for inclusive jet production extracted from 3.1 pb-1 of data at {radical}s=200 GeV and 50% beam polarization. The asymmetry is calculated over the transverse momentum region 5 <more »« less
