Exploring the Proton's Spin at PHENIX

arXiv:hep-ex/0501054

Abstract

In late 2001 the first polarized proton collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) took place. The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has a broad program to investigate the spin structure of the proton. This program will be described, and first results will be presented.
