Title: Measurements of double-helicity asymmetries in inclusive J/ψ production in longitudinally polarized p+p collisions at s =510 GeV

Abstract

We report the double-helicity asymmetry, AJ=ψ LL , in inclusive J=ψ production at forward rapidity as a function of transverse momentum pT and rapidity jyj. The data analyzed were taken during ffiffiffis p ¼ 510 GeV longitudinally polarized p þ p collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in the 2013 run using the PHENIX detector. At this collision energy, J=ψ particles are predominantly produced through gluon-gluon scatterings, thus AJ=ψ LL is sensitive to the gluon polarization inside the proton. We measured AJ=ψ LL by detecting the decay daughter muon pairs μþμ- within the PHENIX muon spectrometers in the rapidity range 1.2 < jyj < 2.2. In this kinematic range, we measured the AJ=ψ LL to be 0.012 0.010 (stat) 0.003 (syst). The AJ=ψ LL can be expressed to be proportional to the product of the gluon polarization distributions at two distinct ranges of Bjorken x: one at moderate range x ≈ 5 × 10-2 where recent data of jet and π0 double helicity spin asymmetries have shown evidence for significant gluon polarization, and the other one covering the poorly known small-x region x ≈ 2 × 10-3. Thus our new results could be used to further constrain the gluonmore » polarization for x < 5 × 10-2.« less

abstractNote = {We report the double-helicity asymmetry, AJ=ψ LL , in inclusive J=ψ production at forward rapidity as a function of transverse momentum pT and rapidity jyj. The data analyzed were taken during ffiffiffis p ¼ 510 GeV longitudinally polarized p þ p collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in the 2013 run using the PHENIX detector. At this collision energy, J=ψ particles are predominantly produced through gluon-gluon scatterings, thus AJ=ψ LL is sensitive to the gluon polarization inside the proton. We measured AJ=ψ LL by detecting the decay daughter muon pairs μþμ- within the PHENIX muon spectrometers in the rapidity range 1.2 < jyj < 2.2. In this kinematic range, we measured the AJ=ψ LL to be 0.012 0.010 (stat) 0.003 (syst). The AJ=ψ LL can be expressed to be proportional to the product of the gluon polarization distributions at two distinct ranges of Bjorken x: one at moderate range x ≈ 5 × 10-2 where recent data of jet and π0 double helicity spin asymmetries have shown evidence for significant gluon polarization, and the other one covering the poorly known small-x region x ≈ 2 × 10-3. Thus our new results could be used to further constrain the gluon polarization for x < 5 × 10-2.},
