Could the gluon contribution to the proton spin be probed?

Abstract

Central pseudoscalar production in pppp scattering is suppressed at small values of QQ_\perp. Such a behavior is expected if the production occurs through the fusion of two vectors. We argue that an extension of the experiment could probe the gluon contribution to the proton spin.
