Measurement of Forward Jets at RHIC

Abstract

We present first measurements of forward jet production from p(pol)+p collisons at \sqrt{s}=500 GeV, including transverse single spin asymmetries. These asymmetries are expected to be sensitive to spin-correlated transverse momentum in the initial state, which is particularly interesting because it is related to orbital angular momentum in the proton.
