被引用回数:17 パーセンタイル:63.64(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The cross section and transverse single-spin asymmetries of and from open heavy-flavor decays in polarized collisions at = 200 GeV were measured by the PHENIX experiment during 2012 at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Because heavy-flavor production is dominated by gluon-gluon interactions at = 200 GeV, these measurements offer a unique opportunity to obtain information on the trigluon correlation functions. The measurements are performed at forward and backward rapidity () over the transverse momentum range of GeV/ for the cross section and GeV/ for the asymmetry measurements. The obtained cross section is compared to a fixed-order-plus-next-to-leading-log perturbative-quantum-chromodynamics calculation. The asymmetry results are consistent with zero within uncertainties, and a model calculation based on twist-3 three-gluon correlations agrees with the data.

被引用回数:9 パーセンタイル:42.39(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We report the double-helicity asymmetry, , in inclusive production at forward rapidity as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity . The data analyzed were taken during GeV longitudinally polarized collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in the 2013 run using the PHENIX detector. At this collision energy, particles are predominantly produced through gluon-gluon scatterings, thus is sensitive to the gluon polarization inside the proton. We measured by detecting the decay daughter muon pairs within the PHENIX muon spectrometers in the rapidity range . In this kinematic range, we measured the to be . The can be expressed to be proportional to the product of the gluon polarization distributions at two distinct ranges of Bjorken : one at moderate range where recent data of jet and double helicity spin asymmetries have shown evidence for significant gluon polarization, and the other one covering the poorly known small-x region Thus our new results could be used to further constrain the gluon polarization for .
