Spin in Hadron Reactions
نویسنده
چکیده
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has brought the study of spin effects in hadronic collisions to a new energy regime. In conjunction with other experiments at facilities around the world, much can be learned from the high-energy polarized proton collisions RHIC provides, allowing the collider to serve as a powerful tool to continue to understand the rich subtleties and surprises of spin effects in QCD, some of which were originally discovered more than three decades ago.

Polarized structure functions of the deuteron
Physics of spin-1 hadron is an unexplored topic in the high-energy region although spin-1/2 physics has been well investigated in the last decade. It is important to test our knowledge of hadron spin structure in a quite different field of spin physics. We discuss tensor structure functions, which do not exist for the spin-1/2 nucleon, in lepton scattering and in hadron reactions such as the po...

Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to top quark spin correlations at hadron colliders: the reactions q ¯ q → t ¯ t(g) Abstract: Future hadron collider experiments are expected to record large to huge samples of t ¯ t events. The analysis of these data with respect to t ¯ t spin-spin correlations requires precise predictions of the production of these quark pairs in a general spin configurati...
متن کاملInstantons and Spin-Flavor effects in Hadron Physics
We discuss the role of instantons in the spectroscopy of ordinary and exotic hadrons as well as in high energy reactions. We argue that the instanton induced flavorand spin-dependent quark-quark and quark-gluon interactions can explain many features of the hadron spectrum. The observed anomalous spin and flavor effects in various reactions with hadrons can also be understood within the instanto...
متن کاملLarge-distance effects on spin observables at RHIC∗
The impact of large-distance contributions on the behaviour of the slopes of the spin-non-flip and of the spin-flip amplitudes is analysed. It is shown that the long tail of the hadron potential in impact parameter space leads to a larger value of the slope for the spin-flip amplitude (without the kinematic factor √ |t|) than for the spin-non-flip amplitude. This effect is taken into account in...
متن کاملSemi-inclusive Hadron-hadron Transverse Spin Asymmetries and Their Implication for Polarized Dis
We discuss 1 a possible explanation of the 25 year old mystery of the large transverse spin asymmetries found in many semi-inclusive hadron-hadron reactions. We obtain the first reliable information about the transverse polarized quark densities ∆T q(x) and we find surprising implications for the usual, longitudinal, polarized DIS. The plan of the presentation is as follows: 1) A brief reminder...
