  8. The PHENIX Detector • Philosophy • high resolution & high-rate at the cost of acceptance • trigger for rare events • Central Arms • |h| < 0.35, Df ~ p • Momentum, Energy, PID • Muon Arms • 1.2 < |h| < 2.4 • Momentum (MuTr) • Muon piston calorimeter • 3.1 < |h| < 3.9

  9. PART 1: Helicity distributionwith longitudinal polarization

  10. Helicity distribution • Lepton deep inelastic scattering (DIS) experiments • Quasi-elastic scattering of quark and lepton at high energies where perturbation is applicable • Reaction depends on quark spin  spin structure function

  11. Proton spin puzzle • Quark spin carries only 20-30% of the nucleon spin spin puzzle (crisis) • What carries the rest? • Gluon spin? • Orbital angular momentum? 0.2-0.3 Our Main Goal

  12. What we can’t know from DIS • Photon mediated  sensitive to charge2 • u : d : s : g = 4 : 1 : 1 : 0 • Gluon is invisible!(c.f., indirect methods: Q2 evolution, photon-gluon fusion) • Can we see gluons directly? Yes, what we need is a Polarized Proton collider

  13. What we measure? ~ (parton pol.)2× (aLL in parton reaction)

  14. How can we access gluons? • Typical parton level diagrams （LO） • What we actually measure are not partons, but fragmented hadrons • Come from different mix of partons • Parton information （e.g., Bjorken x） is obscured

  15. Some examples • Direct photon: g + q  g + q • No fragmentation • Small contamination (e.g.`qq  gg) • Jet, high-pT hadron production • Mix of all subprocesses • LO  highest statistics  Good measurement with lower luminosity • Heavy quarks (charm, bottom) • gg→`qq is the main process at RHIC • W： sensitive to quark flavors • e.g.,W+ comes from`du

  16. Accumulated data with longitudinal polarization

  17. Results p0 ALL@200 GeV Precision reaches O(10-3), but still consistent with 0 asymmetry Run5 Run6 Run9

  18. PRD76:051106,2007 How to extract Dg(x)? (1) • p0s come from quarks and gluons of various x Deconvolution necessary • Are we sure that we understand contribution of partons? YES! • NLO-pQCD calculationreproduces s well p0@200 GeV, h~0

  19. How to extract Dg(x)? (2) • Practical analysis • Assume functional form: e.g., Dg(x)=Cg(x)xa(1-x)b • Search optimum parameters using data, including DIS. • Ex： GRSV（M. Gluck et al., PRD 63 (2001) 094005.） • Assume DG, other parameters are determined from DIS. • Several versions for various DG（GRSV-std, max, min, ...） • Several other analyses • For the same integral, DG, Dg(x) could be very different • Our measurement mostly constrains DG[0.02,0.3]

  20. G: Global Fit DSSV analysis (Run 9 data not taken into account) Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 072001(2008) RHIC data • Uncertainty estimation: • 2=1 • 2/2=2% • Node in Dg(x)?

  21. Global Fit including Run9 0 ALL By S.Taneja et al (DIS2011) ala DSSV with slightly different uncertainty evaluation approach DSSV DSSV + PHENIX Run9 0 ALL No node … Uncertainties decreased A node at x~0.1 ?

  22. Extend x-range  different s 0 at ||<0.35: xg distribution vspT bin s=62 GeV 2-2.5 GeV/c 4-5 GeV/c 9-12 GeV/c s=200 GeV  2-2.5 GeV/c 4-5 GeV/c 9-12 GeV/c s=500 GeV

  23.  at s=62 GeV 0: PHENIX, PRD79, 012003 • Very limited data sample (0.04 pb-1, compared 2.5 pb-1 from Run2005 s=200 GeV) • Clear statistical improvement at larger x; extends the range to higher x (0.06<x< 0.4) • Overlap with 200 GeV ALL provides measurements at the same x but different scale (pT or Q2) • s=500 GeV ALLresults will be available soon (from Run2009 with L~10 pb-1 and P~0.4) Charged hadrons

  24. Forward Calorimetry: MPC Muon Piston Calorimeter (3.1 < |h| < 3.9) :lower x10-3 Cluster (p0 dominant) ALL Decay photonπ0Direct photon Fraction of clusters PT

  25.  W measurement Parity Violation Asymmetry Clean flavor separation w/o fragmentation uncertainty

  26. We in mid-rapidity Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 062001 (2011)

  27. W asymmetry Run 9 data e+ e- Uncertainty is still large More data in 2011 and from now

  28.

Transmit Trigger 5% Optical MuTRG MRG MuTRG ADTX 1.2Gbps Trigger 2 planes RPC / MuTRG data are also recorded on disk. MuTr FEE 95% Interaction Region Rack Room

  29. Trigger efficiency OK: plateau eff. 92% More results ... no time to show them all Run11 data under analysis ーresults coming soon

  30. Part 2:Transverse spin physics

  31. Left xF<0 xF>0 L  R Right Transverse spin physics • Transversitydq: Due to Einstein’s relativity, not the same as Dq • Unexplored leading twist PDF • AN： left-right asymmetry wrt transverse polarization 

  32. Requirements for AN • Helicity flip amplitude & relative phase • In QCD, helicity is conserved if mq=0. AN ~ asmq/pT ~ O(10-3) in naive collinear picture

  33. Reality However, large ANobserved in forward pions. WHY?? We need something more  hot topic

  34. SP SP kT,q p p p p Sq kT,π Possible mechanisms (ex.)

  35. Forward -- MPC p0 AN

  36. MPC @ 200 GeV Cluster (p0 dominant) AN Same tendency with other energies and experiments

  37. Forward h AN

  38. Forward h AN same tendency with p0

  39. Comparison with STAR Quite different at high xF Due to slightly different kinematic conditions? Need confirmation/deconfirmation

  40. Midrapidity hadrons AN • AN is zero within 0.1% contrast with forward hadrons

  46. More detectors – (F)VTX VTX barrel |h|<1.2 • VTX (from 2011) • FVTX (from 2012) • Study of c & b Gluon polarization via • Larger acceptance Jet tagging • q+g g+jet • Theoretically clean channel • Luminosity hungry FVTX More will be discussed by J. Seele this afternoon

  47. Even further upgrade -- sPHENIX Compact, hermetic, EM + hadroncalorimetry • Forward region is important for • spin physics • AN in forward regions • Dg(x) in small x region Details will be discussed by J. Seele this afternoon

  48.
