RHIC自旋物理计划的亮点

Highlights from RHIC Spin Physics Program

Ming X Liu

摘要:

布鲁克海文国家实验室的相对论重离子对撞机(RHIC)提供了世界上最高能量的极化质子-质子碰撞,质心能量高达500 GeV,并提供了一个独特的机会,研究夸克和胶子自旋结构的质子和QCD动力学在高能尺度。近年来,RHIC产生了许多令人瞩目的物理结果。RHIC的最新数据显著地限制了胶子自旋对质子自旋的贡献,并且在PHENIX和STAR合作的W产生中首次观察到宇称违反单自旋不对称性。在这份报告中,我介绍了PHENIX和STAR实验的最新结果,然后简要讨论了横向物理的未来前景,特别是对Drell-Yan单自旋不对称性的独特测量的重要性。

英文摘要:

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory delivers the world's highest energy polarized proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy up to 500 GeV and provides a unique opportunity to study the quark and gluon spin structure of the proton and QCD dynamics at high energy scale. RHIC has produced many exiting physics results in recent years. The latest data from RHIC significantly constrain the gluon spin contribution to the proton spin, and the parity violating single spin asymmetry are observed for the first time in W production by both the PHENIX and STAR collaborations. In this report, I present the latest results from the PHENIX and STAR experiments, followed by a brief discussion of the future prospects of transverse physics, particularly on the importance of the unique measurements of Drell-Yan single spin asymmetry.
