Transverse Proton Spin Structure at PHENIX

Ruizhe Yang, Marvin L. Marshak

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

Polarized proton‐proton collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider offer a unique opportunity to probe transverse proton spin structure at a scale where perturbative QCD can be applied. The PHENIX experiment measures transverse spin asymmetries in several complementary channels with the goal to explore the transverse spin structure of the proton. Results and prospects for future measurements will be presented.
