GeV =200时极化p+p碰撞中包含π ^0产生的双螺旋不对称性对质子自旋的贡献

The gluon spin contribution to the proton spin from the double helicity asymmetry in inclusive pi^0 production in polarized p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV

PHENIX Collaboration, A. Adare

摘要:

用PHENIX实验测量了p_T = 1 - 12 GeV/c中性π介子产生中的双螺旋度不对称性,以计算胶子自旋对质子自旋的贡献Δ G。测量的不对称性与零一致,在μ^2 = 4 GeV^2的理论标度下,对于我们采样的胶子动量分数(x)范围0.02,0.3,Δ-G ^[0.02,0.3] = 0.1 ~ 0.2,在Δ-χ ^2 = 9(~3 σ)时,约束条件为-0.7 <Δ-G ^[0.02,0.3] < 0.5。使用我们测得的不对称性产生的四个代表性的拟合极化深非弹性散射数据的预测结果。我们还考虑了Delta-G约束对理论尺度选择的依赖性,这是这些预测中的一个主要不确定性。

英文摘要:

The double helicity asymmetry in neutral pion production for p_T = 1 to 12 GeV/c has been measured with the PHENIX experiment in order to access the gluon spin contribution, Delta-G, to the proton spin. Measured asymmetries are consistent with zero, and at a theory scale of μ^2 = 4 GeV^2 give Delta-G^[0.02,0.3] = 0.1 to 0.2, with a constraint of -0.7 < Delta-G^[0.02,0.3] < 0.5 at Delta-chi^2 = 9 (~3 sigma) for our sampled gluon momentum fraction (x) range, 0.02 to 0.3. The results are obtained using predictions for our measured asymmetries generated from four representative fits to polarized deep inelastic scattering data. We also consider the dependence of the Delta-G constraint on the choice of theoretical scale, a dominant uncertainty in these predictions.
