Abstract

These proceedings show the preliminary results of the dijet longitudinal double spin asymmetry ALLA_{LL} in polarized proton-proton collisions at s=200\sqrt{s} = 200 GeV for the pseudorapidity range η0.8|\eta| \le 0.8. The integrated luminosity of 10.6 pb1^{-1} used in this analysis was collected during RHIC Run-9. This result is presented as a function of the dijet invariant mass in multiple pseudorapidity acceptances. The division into different pseudorapidity regions allows the kinematics of the hard interaction to be constrained and information about the shape of Δg(x)\Delta g(x) to be extracted for the first time. Comparisons are made with expectations from various different theoretical scenarios of polarized parton distributions of the proton.
