چکیده
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 in π 0 and charged hadron production and longitudinal double-spin asymmetry in π 0 production at mid-rapidity.

The overview of the spin physics at RHIC-PHENIX experiment
In Spiring 2005, RHIC successfully completed its first long data collection run with polarized proton beams. PHENIX accumulated ten fold larger statistics with higher polarization than the previous spin physics run in 2003. This contribution will introduce the RHIC-PHENIX experiment and present our recent results.

The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has extended its scope to cover spin physics using polarized proton beams. The major goals of the spin physics at RHIC are elucidation of the spin structure of the nucleon and precision tests of the symmetries. Sensitivities of the spin physics measurements with the PHENIX detector system are reviewed. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is under constructio...
متن کامل2 00 5 Transverse Spin at PHENIX : Results and Prospects
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 polarizati...
متن کاملPlans for Spin Physics at Rhic
Polarized proton collisions will be studied at RHIC up to a total center of mass energy of 500 GeV, starting in 2002. An overview of the RHIC-spin program, and the critical components of the PHENIX and STAR detectors for spin experiments, is presented. The premier experiment within the RHIC-spin program is the determination of the fraction of the proton's spin carried by gluons. A detailed anal...

I review progress toward the experimental study of polarized proton collisions at RHIC, at center-of-mass energies of several hundred GeV. The tools under development for these experimentsare summarized, with emphasis on the complementarity for the spin program of the two major detectors, PHENIX and STAR. The proposed research program includes measurements of the spin structure of hadrons, test...
