Description

We explore the sensitivity and the physical interest of the measurement of parity-violating spin asymmetries in one-jet production in the presence of a new leptophobic neutral gauge boson, Z', within polarized hadronic collisions at the BNL RHIC. We focus on polarized neutron collisions which could be achieved in a realistic upgrade of the RHIC-spin program. We show that, in the case of a discovery, a compilation of the information coming from both polarized vector p vector p and vector n vector n collisions should constrain the number of Higgs doublets and the presence or absence of trilinear fermion mass terms in the underlying model of new physics.
