Probing quark compositeness at hadronic colliders : the case of polarized beams

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-09-01 v2

Abstract

A new handed interaction between subconstituents of quarks could be at the origin of some small parity violating effects in one-jet inclusive production. Within a few years, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) will be used as a polarized proton-proton collider. In this context, we analyse the possibilities of disentangling some new parity violating effects from the standard spin asymmetries which are expected due to the Standard Model QCD-Weak interference. We also explore the possibilities of placing some more stringent limits on the quark compositeness scale Λ\Lambda thanks to measurements of such spin asymmetries.
