SummarySummaryPHENIX is well suited to the study of spin physics with a wide variety of probes.» G with neutral and charged pions, photons, etas, heavy

flavor via muons and electrons, multi-particle “jets” …» Anti-quark helicity distribution via W decay» Transversity and Sivers distributions

New ALL measurements» Run 5 (π, jet-like, , minbias π0) and Run6 (filtered π0 & J/)» Statistics at level to differentiate GRSV-std from G=0.

New AN measurements» Run 6 J/, forward neutrons ( & xF), & forward 0 (MPC)

We have an upgrade plan that will give us the triggers and vertex information that we need for precise future measurements of G, q and new physics at higher luminosity and energy

Enjoy all the PHENIX talks detailing our results!

Use Zero Degree Calorimeter (ZDC) to measure a L-R and U-D asymmetry in forward neutrons (Acceptance: ±2 mrad).

When transversely polarized, we see clear asymmetry.

When longitudinally polarized, there should be no asymmetry.

ALL(+BG) = w · ALL() + wBG · ALL(BG)

This method is also used for other probes with two particle decay mode:
