The gluon spin contribution to the proton spin from the double helicity asymmetry in inclusive pi⁰ production in polarized p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV
read the original abstract
The double helicity asymmetry in neutral pion production for p_T = 1 to 12 GeV/c has been measured with the PHENIX experiment in order to access the gluon spin contribution, Delta-G, to the proton spin. Measured asymmetries are consistent with zero, and at a theory scale of \mu^2 = 4 GeV^2 give Delta-G^[0.02,0.3] = 0.1 to 0.2, with a constraint of -0.7 < Delta-G^[0.02,0.3] < 0.5 at Delta-chi^2 = 9 (~3 sigma) for our sampled gluon momentum fraction (x) range, 0.02 to 0.3. The results are obtained using predictions for our measured asymmetries generated from four representative fits to polarized deep inelastic scattering data. We also consider the dependence of the Delta-G constraint on the choice of theoretical scale, a dominant uncertainty in these predictions.

The twist-3 gluon contribution to $A_N$ in $J/\psi$ production in $pp$ collisions
Only the C-even twist-3 gluon distribution contributes to the J/psi single transverse-spin asymmetry, providing a probe of gluon TMDs with sizable predicted effects at collider energies.

Global analyses of helicity-dependent parton distribution functions
Modern global QCD analyses agree that up-quark helicity is positive and down-quark helicity negative, with positive gluon polarisation at moderate x, while the full gluon spin moment remains limited by the unmeasured ...
