The Measurement of the Polarized Gluon Distribution Function at PHENIX

  • 1. Center for Nuclear Study, Graduate School of Science, University of Tokyo, 2-1 Hirosawa, Wako, Saitama, 351-0198 (Japan)

Description

One of the goal of the PHENIX experiment is to understand the contribution of the gluon spin to the proton spin. In PHENIX, the polarized gluon distribution is measured by the longitudinal double spin asymmetry of the various probes. Recent results on the measurement of the polarized gluon distribution function with PHENIX experiment are presented
