RIKEN BNL Collaboration on Spin Physics Program
of
in
RIKEN BNL Collaboration for Spin Physics is now fabricating and
installing
Siberian Snakes and Spin Rotators in
the RHIC main rings to accelerate polarized
protons up to 250 GeV, and upgrading the PHENIX detector by
installing new muon arms etc. to enhance the acceptance of
single- and di-muons. These make it feasible to study the polarized
quark and anti-quark
structure function
via the Drell-Yan
processes and vector boson productions, and
to investigate gluon polarization via heavy quark
production (
gluon fusion) and
gluon Compton scattering.
