Gluon Polarization from Correlated High-p_T Hadron Pairs in Polarized l - N Scattering

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We propose to access the gluon polarization ΔG\Delta G by measuring the cross section spin-asymmetry in semi-inclusive polarized lepton -- nucleon scattering. The photon-gluon fusion sub-process will be tagged by detecting high-pTp_T correlated hadron pairs in the forward hemisphere. Selecting oppositely charged kaon pairs will allow to suppress the background coming from gluon radiation.
