Spin Physics with STAR at RHIC

Spin Physics with Star at Rhic

STAR collected data in proton-proton collisions at √ s = 200 GeV with transverse and longitudinal beam polarizations during the initial running periods in 2002–2004 at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Results on the single transverse spin asymmetries in the production of high energy forward neutral pions and of forward charged hadrons will be presented. Dat...

Single Spin Asymmetries at RHIC

One purpose of this meeting is to assess the physics potential of HERA-N Stage I. To develop a reasonable perspective, it is useful to look at other spin experiments. For completeness, this report discusses some of the single spin physics that has appeared in studies relating to the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).

Spin Physics at Rhic - a Theoretical Overview

We review how RHIC is expected to deepen our understanding of the spin structure of longitudinally and transversely polarized nucleons. After briefly outlining the current status of spin-dependent parton densities and pointing out open questions, we focus on theoretical calculations and predictions relevant for the RHIC spin program. Estimates of the expected statistical accuracy for such measu...

Prospects for Spin Physics at RHIC

Colliding beams of 70% polarized protons at up to √ s=500 GeV, with high luminosity, L=2×10 cmsec, will represent a new and unique laboratory for studying the proton. RHIC-Spin will be the first polarized-proton collider and will be capable of copious production of jets, directly produced photons, and W and Z bosons. Features will include direct and precise measurements of the polarization of t...
