Overview
• Fixed target polarized DIS experiments Their need to evaluate first moments of spin structure functions
Methods used to get the first moments: Old & New
New: pQCD analysis at NLO Allows to access G
Lessons…-- features and faults
Other “direct methods” in DIS –Photon Gluon Fusion-to
access G: Lessons-- Features and faults
• Polarized Gluon Measurements at Colliders RHIC spin program present and near future
Future polarized electron proton colliders: EIC/eRHIC,
Polarized HERA….THERA and their ability to get Delta G.

Polarized DIS
• To date fixed target experiments only
• Both: Probe and the Target need to be polarized
• Electron beams up to 50 GeV/c on fixed (solid and gaseous) targets were predominantly used at SLAC (EXXX series) and DESY (HERMES)
• Muon beams 100-200 GeV/c on fixed (solid) targets were used at CERN(EMC,SMC)
Compared to un-polarized DIS, the kinematic rangeis small

How far does “polarized DIS” have to go!
July 3, Snowmass 2001, Delta G 5
Need to evaluate the first moments and the methods… old/new
• Measure A1(x,Q2)• Use parameterizations of F2 and R to get g1(x,Q2)• To move data to a fixed Q0
-- OLD Method: assume A1 independent of Q -- New Method: use pQCD analysis at NLO which treat the
Q2 evolution using DGLAP equations -- Assign appropriate uncertainties• Extrapolate to unmeasured high and low x regions -- Assign appropriate uncertainties…!• Evaluate first moments of spin structure functions

The Method
• Chose a starting scale Q2 = 1 GeV2
• Parameterize the polarized parton distributions with functional form:
• Each PD is normalized such that:
• become the first moment of the parton distributions
• First moments of singlet and gluon distributions are free parameters while the first moment of the nonsinglet is either fixed by Bjorken sum rule or in some ambitious analyses left free too.
• minimization is performed for g1 measurements from experiments and evolved value of g1 using the parton distribution functions and the DGLAP evolution equations at the measured x,Q2 of the data point.

Observation: Features and Faults
• Method reliable… (refer to unpolarized NLO analysis of F2), uncertainties estimates rather straightforward.. Although tedious.
• Largest uncertainties come from the unmeasured low x region.
• pQCD analysis needs large Q2 arms which are absent in available data
• Need a collider experiment e-N with sufficiently large CM energy to cross the low x barrier at the same time have large enough values of Q2 so that pQCD methods can be reliably be used to get at a the values of Delta G.

Fraction of VDM and its uncertainty? Scale dependence significant?
A high energy polarized collider will overcome these!

~5-7 days of data
A Unique Measurement! No present/future approved experiment will measure this.

July 3, Snowmass 2001, Delta G 27
• pQCD analysis of g1 structure function at NLO gives the first moment of the polarized gluon distribution. Present value and uncertainty is: (at Q2 = 1 GeV2)
1.0 (stat) (exp.sys.) (theory/low-x)
• Major source of uncertainty from low x unmeasured region: Theory completely unconstrained in this region.
• If EIC data is obtained and the analysis is repeated, the theoretical uncertainties improve by factors of 3-5; the statistical uncertainty improves by even bigger factors.

Result of Di-Jet analysis at NLOG. Radel et al./A.Deshpande et al.
• Easy to differentiate between different scenarios of G: Improves G by factor of ~3• Combined analysis: Di-Jet + pQCD analysis of g1:G constrained by these two
together further improves the uncertainties by additonal factor of ~3 Effectively factors of 10 improvement in G can be expected!

Polarized Parton Distribution of the Photon
• Photoproduction studies with single and di-jet and one and 2 high pT opposite charged hadrons.
• At high enough energies the photon can resolve itself into its parton content
• With polarized protons asymmetries related to the spin structure of the photon can be extracted! A UNIQUE measurement!
• Asymmetries sensitive to the gluon structure as well!

Summary of G Measurements
• Polarized gluon density remains to be measured. Ample evidence for it being non-zero & positive.
• Attempts to measure them have been serious but have had limited success due to various things:
a) Beam facilities of the past + Detectors
b) Kinematics covered by data make the interpretation difficult.
• Future dedicated experiments at colliders will do better:
High energy colliders … better detector designs … will cover larger kinematic regions which have little theoretical issues
• Starting with RHIC Spin leading to possible EIC at BNL or Polarized HERA at DESY the prospects of accessing G and chances of uncovering other surprises remain very good!
