Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

The cross section and x F dependence of A N of very forward neutron production in polarized p + p collisions at √s = 200 GeV were measured in the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. The measured cross sections were consistent with the x F scaling claimed by the ISR experiment. Significant negative A N was observed in the forward region, and no significant backward A N was observed. We also measured √s and p T dependence of A N of very forward neutron production at √s from 62.4 to 500 GeV.
