Constraint on ∆g(x) from π0 production at RHIC
نویسندگان
چکیده
We determine the polarized gluon distribution ∆g(x) by a global analysis using current DIS and π0 asymmetry data. The π0 data from RHIC-Spin experiments provide a strong constraint on ∆g(x), so that its uncertainty is reduced. However, a sign problem appears in the analysis using π0 data, which means that positive and negative distributions are allowed for ∆g(x). These two types of solutions are discussed.

Our present information on the gluon polarisation ∆g/g is reviewed. The data from fixedtarget lepton–nucleon experiments are in context with the recent data from the RHIC polarised pp collider. The main tools to study ∆g/g in lepton–nucleon scattering are scaling violations of the g1 structure functions and longitudinal spin asymmetries in hadron production. Results from high-pT hadron pairs, i...
متن کاملhigh-pT jet at the LHC
In the framework of the topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model, we study production of the neutral top-pion π0 t in association with a high-pT jet at the LHC, which proceeds via the partonic processes gg −→ π0 t g, gq −→ π0 t q, qq̄ −→ π0 t g, gb(b̄) −→ π0 t b(b̄), and bb̄ −→ π0 t g. We find that it is very challenging to detect the neutral top-pion π0 t via the process pp −→ π0 t + jet +X → tt̄+...
متن کاملLongitudinal Spin Asymmetry and Cross Section of Inclusive π0 Production in Polarized p+ p Collisions at RHIC
We present the first measurement of the cross section and the double longitudinal spin asymmetry of inclusive π0 production in polarized p+p collisions at √ s = 200 GeV at mid-rapidity with the STAR detector, using the barrel electromagnetic calorimeter. The measured cross section is compared to NLO pQCD calculations and can provide constraints on the pion fragmentation functions. Fragmentation...
متن کاملConstraint on ∆g(x) at Large X
We investigate the polarized gluon distribution ∆g(x) by a global analysis of current DIS data and the π 0 data from RHIC-Spin experiments. The π 0 data provide a strong constraint on ∆g(x), so that its uncertainty is reduced. Furthermore, new DIS data of COMPASS and HERMES play an important role in determining ∆g(x) at large x.
متن کاملNeutral Meson Measurement at Phenix
Measurements from the RHIC experiments show strong suppression of high-pT hadrons in central Au+Au collisions. The PHENIX experiment has observed strong suppression of π0 and charged hadron yields in central Au+Au collisions for pT > 5 GeV/c regardless of pT and particle species. The observed suppression is interpreted in terms of energy loss of quarks in a high-density medium. The PHENIX Year-...
