OutlineReview of Findings on Transverse SSA at RHIC
• Motivations/goals and methods
• Findings from the first polarized proton collisions at RHIC (medieval times)
• Findings from the renaissance
• First findings from the modern age
• Possible paths forward

Motivations• How does a composite object (e.g, the proton) get its spin from its constituents?
• Can the transverse spin effects observed in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering be related to transverse spin effects observed in p+p collisions? Or, more broadly, what is the underlying dynamics in kinematics where transverse spin effects are observed?

Does pQCD describe particle production at RHIC?Compare cross sections measured for p+p +X at s=200 GeV
to next-to-leading order pQCD calculations
S.S. Adler et al. (PHENIX), PRL 91 (2003) 241803
J. Adams et al. (STAR), PRL 92 (2004) 171801; and PRL 97 (2006) 152302
Cross sections agree with NLO pQCD down to pT~2 GeV/c over a wide
range, 0 < < 3.8, of pseudorapidity ( = -ln tan /2) at s = 200 GeV.

Require s dependence (e.g., measure cross sections at s = 500 GeV) to disentangle pT and xT dependence

Idea: directly measure kT by observing momentum imbalance of a pair of jets produced in p+p collision and attempt to measure if kT is correlated with incoming proton spin

Towards Modern Times
• To separate Sivers and Collins effects need to move beyond inclusive production
• To isolate Sivers effect, need to either avoid fragmentation or integrate azimuthally• Full Jets, Di-Jets (away side), Direct photons, Drell-Yan
• To isolate Collins effect, need to look azimuthally within a jet.

First Look at “Jet-like” Events in the FMSEvent selection:
• “Jet shape” in data matches simulation well• Reconstructed Mass doesn’t match as well• High-Tower Trigger used in Run 8 biases Jets
• >15 detectors with energy > 0.4GeV in the event (no single pions in the event)• cone radius = 0.5 (eta-phi space)• “Jet-like” pT > 1 GeV/c ; xF > 0.2• 2 perimeter fiducial volume cut (small/large cells)
“Jet-shape” distribution of energy within jet-like objects in the FMS as a function of distance from the jet axis.

104 useable forward photon + jet coincidences are expected in a 30 pb-1 data sample with 60% beam polarization

41
Large FMS acceptance allows rejection of 0 background
Search for photons in yellow band and reject events with nearby photon to reduce background from 0 and decays. Large acceptance of FMS makes this possible.
Large acceptance also allows calorimeter isolation criterion to help reduce background from photons that result from fragmentation.
For E>25, 95% of second photon from 0 decays occur within radius of ~4 large cells (~23 cm).
Example 0 rejection region.

Future OpportunitiesTransverse spin for forward +jet
Test of predictive power of theory (A. Bacchetta et al. PRL 99 (2007) 212002)
Restricting the measurement of the forward photon to E>35 GeV at <>=3.2 produces a signal:background ratio of 2.1.
