Study of the Gluon Polarization in the Proton with a Silicon Vertex Upgrade at Rhic/phenix
نویسنده
چکیده
PHENIX has a well defined program for measuring the polarized gluon distribution in the nucleon. The measurements of gluon polarization via the directphoton production and the heavy-flavor production can be significantly improved by the silicon vertex tracker upgrade. We have studied the possible improvements of the gluon polarization measurements using Monte Carlo simulation and they are shown and discussed in this paper.

Measurement of Double Helicity Asymmetry in Multi-Particle Production with Polarized Proton-Proton Collision at PHENIX
A goal of the PHENIX experiment is to obtain the polarized gluon distribution function in the proton. Double helicity asymmetry in multi-particle production with polarized proton-proton collision is measured at midrapidity with RHIC Run 2005 data. This result excludes the maximum positive gluon polarization (“GRSV-max”).
متن کامل5 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...
متن کاملSilicon Vertex Tracker for PHENIX Upgrade at RHIC: Capabilities and Detector Technology
From the wealth of data obtained from the first three years of RHIC operation, the four RHIC experiments, BRAHMS, PHENIX, PHOBOS and STAR, have concluded that a high density partonic matter is formed at central Au+Au collisions atsNN = 200 GeV. The research focus now shifts from initial discovery to a detailed exploration of partonic matter. Particles carrying heavy flavor, i.e. charm or beauty...

We describe the foreseen spin physics of the polarized proton-proton collider at RHIC. The study of the spin structure of the nucleon at RHIC is unique and complementary to the traditional polarized DIS experiments. The sensitivities of the gluon polarization measurement via prompt photon production and anti-quark polarization measurement using W production with the PHENIX detector system are r...
متن کاملThe 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.
