Description
The anticipated increase in luminosity and polarization for the RHIC spin run in 2003 together with the installation of spin rotators at the STAR interaction region will allow the first measurement of ALL in inclusive jet production at √(s) = 200 GeV. This data should provide hints of the gluon polarization, ΔG/G, of the proton. In the long-term, the determination of the gluon polarization of the proton will be made through prompt-photon production and photon-jet coincidences. Other possibilities include di-jet production and heavy flavor production. The measurement of ALL, the expected event rates, and simulation results based on the anticipated RHIC performance in 2003 will be described together with a discussion of various systematic error sources
