2 00 5 Transverse Spin at PHENIX : Results and Prospects
نویسنده
چکیده
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), as the world's first and only polarized proton collider, offers a unique environment in which to study the spin structure of the proton. In order to study the proton's transverse spin structure, the PHENIX experiment at RHIC took data with transversely polarized beams in 2001–02 and 2005, and it has plans for further running with transverse polarization in 2006 and beyond. Results from early running as well as prospective measurements for the future will be discussed.

5 Phenix Spin Program , Recent Results
Acceleration of polarized protons in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provides unique tool to study the spin structure of the nucleon. We give a brief overview of the PHENIX program to investigate poorly known gluon and flavor decomposed see quark polarization in the proton, utilizing polarized proton collisions at RHIC. We report PHENIX first results on transverse single-spin asymmetry i...

We consider the recent RHIC data on the transverse single spin asymmetry (SSA) AN , measured in p↑p → π0 X processes at mid-rapidity by the PHENIX Collaboration. We analyze this experimental information within a hard scattering approach based on a generalized QCD factorization scheme, with unintegrated, transverse momentum dependent (TMD), parton distribution and fragmentation functions. In thi...

The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has measured the single-spin transverse asymmetry (AN ) for neutral pion and non-identified charged hadron production at xF ∼ 0 over a transverse momentum range of ∼ 0.5 to 5.0 GeV/c from polarized proton-proton interactions at a center of mass energy ( √ s) of 200 GeV. The asymmetries ob...

The PHENIX Experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has made measurements of event-by-event fluctuations in the net charge, the mean transverse momentum, and the charged particle multiplicity as a function of collision energy, centrality, and transverse momentum in heavy ion collisions. The results of these measurements will be reviewed and discussed.. 1. Introduction The PHENIX experi...

Measurement of leptonic and hadronic decays of ω-and φ-mesons at RHIC by PHENIX Abstract. The PHENIX experiment at RHIC measured production of the ω-and φ-mesons in p + p, d + Au and Au + Au collisions at √ s N N = 63 and 200 GeV. Particle properties were studied using hadronic and di-electron decay channels. Transverse momentum (mass) spectra measured in different decay modes are found to be i...
