Description

Recent results on the measurement of the cross section of the direct photon production and the status of the mesurement of the longitudinal double spin asymmetry of the direct photon production are presented. The measurement of the direct photon cross section is a test of perturbative Quantum ChromoDynamics (pQCD), and it gives us the polarized and unpolarized gluon distribution in the nucleon
