The Longitudinal Spin Program at STAR

The STAR Collaboration has nearly completed installation of electromagnetic calorimetry covering the full azimuth and pseudorapidity range -1 < {eta} < 2. These calorimeters are essential for the STAR spin program, which requires efficient triggers for high-pT jets, mesons, and photons. The re...

Description
Summary:The STAR Collaboration has nearly completed installation of electromagnetic calorimetry covering the full azimuth and pseudorapidity range -1 < {eta} < 2. These calorimeters are essential for the STAR spin program, which requires efficient triggers for high-pT jets, mesons, and photons. The results of this program will constrain {delta}g, the gluon contribution to the proton spin.
