被引用回数:4 パーセンタイル:44.67(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We present a measurement of the transverse single-spin asymmetry for and
mesons in
collisions in the pseudorapidity range
and at a center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. In comparison with previous measurements in this kinematic region, these results have a factor of 3 smaller uncertainties. As hadrons,
and
mesons are sensitive to both initial- and final-state nonperturbative effects for a mix of parton flavors. Comparisons of the differences in their transverse single-spin asymmetries have the potential to disentangle the possible effects of strangeness, isospin, or mass. These results can constrain the twist-3 trigluon collinear correlation function as well as the gluon Sivers function.

被引用回数:7 パーセンタイル:52.68(Physics, Multidisciplinary)During 2015 the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provided collisions of transversely polarized protons with Au and Al nuclei for the first time, enabling the exploration of transverse-single-spin asymmetries with heavy nuclei. Large single-spin asymmetries in very forward neutron production have been previously observed in transversely polarized collisions at RHIC, and the existing theoretical framework that was successful in describing the single-spin asymmetry in
collisions predicts only a moderate atomic-mass-number (
) dependence. In contrast, the asymmetries observed at RHIC in
collisions showed a surprisingly strong
dependence in inclusive forward neutron production. The observed asymmetry in
+Al collisions is much smaller, while the asymmetry in
+ Au collisions is a factor of three larger in absolute value and of opposite sign. The interplay of different neutron production mechanisms is discussed as a possible explanation of the observed
dependence.
