Abstract

The STAR collaboration has reported precision measurements of the transverse single spin asymmetries for the production of the π0\pi^0 mesons from polarized proton collisions at s=200\sqrt{s} = 200 GeV. These measurements were obtained using modular forward detectors. The Forward Meson Spectrometer (FMS), covering a region of 2.5<η<4.02.5 < \eta < 4.0, and its engineering prototype, provide increased acceptance, as needed for spin-dependent correlation studies that could disentangle contributions to the forward $pi^0$ asymmetries. We report on the status of the analysis.
