The RHIC Spin Program: Achievements and Future Opportunities
E. C. Aschenauer, A. Bazilevsky, K. Boyle +17
This document summarizes recent achievements of the RHIC spin program and their impact on our understanding of the nucleon's spin structure, i.e. the individual parton (quark and g…
Fragmentations Functions in Nuclear Media
Rodolfo Sassot, Marco Stratmann, Pia Zurita
We perform a detailed phenomenological analysis of how well hadronization in nuclear environments can be described in terms of effective fragmentation functions. The medium modifie…
Evidence for polarization of gluons in the proton
Daniel de Florian, Rodolfo Sassot, Marco Stratmann +1
We discuss the impact of recent high-statistics RHIC data on the determination of the gluon polarization in the proton in the context of a global QCD analysis of polarized parton d…
Global Analysis of Nuclear Parton Distributions
Daniel de Florian, Rodolfo Sassot, Marco Stratmann +1
We present a new global QCD analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions and their uncertainties. In addition to the most commonly analyzed data sets for the deep-inelastic sc…
Fragmentation functions for pions, kaons, protons and charged hadrons
Daniel de Florian, Rodolfo Sassot, Marco Stratmann
We present new sets of pion, kaon, proton and inclusive charged hadron fragmentation functions obtained in NLO combined analyses of single-inclusive hadron production in electron-p…
Eta Fragmentation Functions Revisited
Christine A. Aidala, Devon A. Loomis, Ramiro Tomas Martinez +2
We revisit the extraction of parton-to-eta meson fragmentation functions at next-to-leading order accuracy in QCD in the light of the recent hadroproduction measurements in proton-…
