Cross section and longitudinal single-spin asymmetry AL for forward W±μ±ν production in polarized et al.

Abstract: We have measured the cross section and single-spin asymmetries from forward W AE → μ AE ν production in longitudinally polarized p þ p collisions at ffiffi ffi s p ¼ 510 GeV using the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The cross sections are consistent with previous measurements at this collision energy, while the most forward and backward longitudinal single spin asymmetries provide new insights into the sea quark helicities in the proton. The charge of the W bosons provides a natural fla… Show more

“…These results include a full underlying event correction and they have since been published [41]. In conclusion of first part of the W-boson program, parity violating single spin asymmetries from PHENIX and STAR have been published and are available for the inclusion in global analyses to improve the determination of the sea quark polarization [42,43,44]. New theoretical tools have been developed to extract ∆g in polarized semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering using heavy quark production at NLO [45,46], which will be important for the study of the gluon fusion process at a future EIC.…”

“…It is known that the single-spin asymmetry for W ± production in polarized proton-proton collisions is a tangible probe to the antiquark flavor asymmetry. The idea is tested at the STAR collaboration at RHIC and reported the polarized antiquark asymmetry [12][13][14]. Also, there are upated PDFs reflecting these experimental improvements [15,16].…”
