ABSTRACT
Polarized p-p collisions at RHIC with 50<âˆšs<500 GeV will provide us new information on the spin structure of the nucleon. Using the PHENIX detector, we plan to measure the double-longitudinal spin asymmetry (A[sub LL]) for the heavy-flavor production which is sensitive to the gluon polarization (Î”G(x)) in the proton. We can measure A[sub LL] for J/Ïˆ's, identified with unlike-sign dimuon pairs, with a small experimental uncertainty (Î´A[sub LL]âˆ¼0.006 with 320pb[sup -1] luminosity and âˆšs=200GeV). With the production mechanism of J/Ïˆ understood, Î”G(x) can be extracted from A[sub LL]. Open heavy quarks can be identified with electron-muon pairs whose invariant mass is over 2 GeV/cÂ² with a small background. Using both unlike-sign and like-sign pairs, we can obtain A[sub LL] for both charm and bottom events separately, which constrain Î”G(x).

Meson photoproduction off the nucleon is a key tool in order to understand the structure of baryons and their excitation spectrum. Especially in the regime of high-lying resonances the photoproduction of multi-meson final states is of increasing importance, given that the cross sections for such...

We provide analytical results for the O( Î± s) corrections to the polar angle dependence of the longitudinal spinâ€“spin correlation asymmetry in $e^{+}e^{-}\to q\bar{q}$ . For top quark pair production the O( Î± s) corrections to the longitudinal spinâ€“spin asymmetry are strongly...
