Angular Momentum and Polarization in Hadron Collisions up to LHC Energies

Abstract!Longstanding puzzles in spin physics can be confronted at the high energies of the LHC. Heavy quarks will be produced with significant polarization, both as single spin asymmetries and through polarization correlations. Lower energy proton accelerator and leptoproduction data suggest various mechanisms within QCD for polarization phenomena that can be tested at higher energies. Observation of strange and charm hadron polarization reveals important aspects of QCD spin physics. Top quark polarization is predicted to be significant, and polarization correlations will reveal important aspects of the gluon distributions of the hadrons.!!

Correlations expressed as a weighting factor for unpolarized gluons. •  The gluon fusion mechanism gives rise to a higher order angular distribution

due to the combination of two spin 1 gluons.

Use these to test SM vs. BSM – Integrated version agrees – with big errors GG – also Mahlon & Parke

This amounts to summing the columns of the table However, we consider the polarizations of the t-tbar as levers to differentiate between like pairs of gluon polarizations and unlike pairs Separating rows AND columns Our method of separating rows is new. Mahlon and Parke , (PRD81, 074024 (2010)) took integrated spin correlation measure which was confirmed by D0 & now at ATLAS. We single out gluon distributions by separating different t+tbar helicities (instead of just overall polarizations) Work being completed . . . .
