Polarized Gluon Distribution Function from $\eta'$ Production

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

Using the recently proposed ggηgg\eta' effective vertex, we investigate the production of η\eta' from gluon fusion in polarized pp collisions. We show that by measuring ALLA_{LL} in η\eta' production, one can extract the polarized gluon distribution ΔG(x,Q2)\Delta G(x,Q^2) at Q21\GeV2Q^2 \sim 1 \GeV^2 and in a wide range of x.
