  3. (DS)  G+ L Physics Motivation Proton Spin: Quark spinGluon SpinAngular momentum It has been determined, through polarized deep inelastic scattering experiments, that the quarks alone can not account for the spin of the proton (i.e. DS ~ 0.2) To account for the spin of the proton, either the gluons are polarized and/or there are significant contributions to the protons spin from the orbital motion of its constituents. Would like to unravel the contributions to transverse spin asymmetries (an area of intense recent theoretical development) from: a) quark transversespinpreferences in a transversely polarized proton (p)  “transversity”  quark property decoupled from gluons b) quark and gluon transversemotionpreferences in p  spin-kT correlation related to quark/gluon orbital ang. mom.

East of STAR North South Top To STAR Bottom Transverse Polarization Data sets and FPD Configurations 2002 Run: <Pb> ~ 15%, Lint = 0.3 pb-1 Forward  Detector (FPD, aka pEEMC) - 24 layer Pb-scintillator sampling calorimeter - 2 orthogonal planes of finely segmented triangular scintillator strips (Shower-Maximum Detector, or SMD) - 2 Preshower layers 2003 Run: <Pb> ~ 30%, Lint = 0.5 pb-1 • Upgraded Forward  Detector (FPD) • Pb-glass EM calorimeter • (from IHEP Protovino, used in E704) • Shower-Maximum Detector (SMD) • Preshower

  6. Polarization Pattern at STAR: Spin Up Spin Down Unpolarized Spin asymmetries in proton-proton collider Requires 3 different process/measurements “Bunch/Spin sorting” Up to 120 bunches in RHIC Bunch Spacing 107nsec (9MHz) Alternating spin pattern Bunch/Spin sorted scaler system N = spin dependent yields of process interest L = yield of luminosity monitoring process R = relative luminosity between different spin configuration P = beam polarization(s) from polarimeter at RHIC Also need direction of polarization vector at IR Single Spin Asymmetries (F.o.M = P2L) interactions (kHz)/crossing AN with left-right symmetric detectors Double Spin Asymmetries (F.o.M = P4L) bunch crossing number at STAR IR

  9. 2002 STAR Forward p0 Detector (aka pEEMC) p0 reconstruction at E=20~80GeV, 1 <pT < 4 GeV 3<h<4 Event Display SMD EMC M • Cluster separation in shower maximum detector and measured calorimeter energy serves as input to the 0 mass determination.

  10. Run 2 Results: Forwardp0Inclusive Cross Section • STAR data at • = 3.8 (hep-ex/0310058, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92 (2004) 171801) • = 3.3 (hep-ex/0403012, Preliminary) • NLO pQCD calculations at fixed  with equal factorization and renormalization scales = pT • Solid and dashed curves differ primarily in the g   fragmentation function STAR data consistent with Next-to-Leading Order pQCD calculations in contrast to data at lower s (Bourrely and Soffer, Eur.Phys.J. C36 (2004) 371-374)

  11. Run 2 Results: Large Analyzing Powers at RHIC STAR First measurement of AN for forward π0 production at s=200GeV Similar to FNAL E704 result at s = 20 GeV In agreement with several models including different dynamics: STAR collaboration, hep-ex/0310058, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92 (2004) 171801 • Sivers: spin and k correlation in initial state (related to orbital angular momentum?) • Collins: Transversity distribution function & spin-dependent fragmentation function  suppressed? (hep-ph/0408356) • Qiu and Sterman (initial-state) / Koike (final-state) twist-3 pQCD calculations First shown at spin2002 • pT dependence? • xF<0? • AN with mid-rapidity correlation? • Spin dependence in jet?

  12. Run 3 Results: AN for forward & backward p0 production at s=200GeV Statistical error only for <h>=4.1 • Positive AN at large positive xF has been confirmed • Larger significance to be non-zero & positive than published data Thefirst measurement of negative xF AN has been done, and is consistent with zero •  Sensitive to twist-3 gluon-gluon correlation STAR Preliminary

  13. Run 3 Results: Add 0 cross sections at  = 4.0 xF and pT range of the data Different position for FPD relative to the beam, relative to already accumulated 2002 data, allows mapping of AN in xF and pT plane to begin

  14. Outlook Current FPD • Disentangling the dynamics of AN via • Higher precision AN measurement vs xF and pT • AN with mid rapidity correlation • Forward jet • Proposal for forward calorimeter upgrade • Heavy mesons and direct photons • Low x gluons in nuclei • Mid rapidity jets • Di-jet kT balance  gluon Sivers function • Inside jet particle correlation  Collins function * Transversity h=4.2 h=3.2 ~2.4m square ~1500 cells h=2.5

  15. Summary • Forward hadron production at hadron-hadron collider selects high-x (thus high polarization) quark + low-x gluon scatterings • Inclusive cross section is consistent with NLO pQCD calculations and PYTHIA(LO pQCD + parton showers) • Analyzing power for forward p0 mesons at large positive xF was found to be large and positive • The first measurement of negative xF AN has been done, and is consistent with zero • Accumulation of significant (O 10 pb-1, P  50%) transverse polarization data set expected in upcoming FY06 RHIC run. Expect to start extracting information on dynamics responsible for transverse spin asymmetries.
