Inclusive Prompt Photon Production in Polarized pp Collisions at HERA-N

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v1

Abstract

We present a NLO study of inclusive polarized prompt photon production in a conceivable fixed target pppp mode of HERA with longitudinally polarized protons at s=39\sqrt{s}=39 GeV. We analyze the sensitivity of the corresponding double spin asymmetry to the proton's polarized gluon distribution Δg\Delta g and estimate the expected statistical precision in its determination. The main theoretical uncertainties in the predictions are examined.
