We report the double-helicity asymmetry, $$A_{LL}^{J/psi}$$, in inclusive $$J/psi$$ production at forward rapidity as a function of transverse momentum $$p_T$$ and rapidity $$|y|$$. The data analyzed were taken during $$sqrt{s}=510$$ GeV longitudinally polarized $$p+p$$ collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in the 2013 run using the PHENIX detector. At this collision energy, $$J/psi$$ particles are predominantly produced through gluon-gluon scatterings, thus $$A_{LL}^{J/psi}$$ is sensitive to the gluon polarization inside the proton. We measured $$A_{LL}^{J/psi}$$ by detecting the decay daughter muon pairs $$mu^+mu^-$$ within the PHENIX muon spectrometers in the rapidity range $$1.2<|y|<2.2$$. In this kinematic range, we measured the $$A_{LL}^{J/psi}$$ to be $$0.012 pm 0.010 ({rm stat}) pm 0.003 ({rm syst})$$. The $$A_{LL}^{J/psi}$$ can be expressed to be proportional to the product of the gluon polarization distributions at two distinct ranges of Bjorken $$x$$: one at moderate range $$x cong 5 times 10^{-2}$$ where recent data of jet and $$pi^0$$ double helicity spin asymmetries have shown evidence for significant gluon polarization, and the other one covering the poorly known small-x region $$x cong 2 times 10^{-3}$$ Thus our new results could be used to further constrain the gluon polarization for $$x < 5 times 10^{-2}$$.
