Spin effects in diffractive hadron photoproduction

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We study spin asymmetries in diffractive QQˉQ \bar Q and vector meson production which are sensitive to the spin-dependent part of the two-gluon-nucleon coupling. It is found that the AllA_{ll} and AlTA_{lT} asymmetry in diffractive reactions can be used to study polarized gluon distributions of the proton.
