Double-Spin Asymmetry of J/psi Production in Polarized pp Collisions at HERA-$\vec{N}$

Abstract

We calculated the color-octet contribution to the double spin asymmetry of $J/\psi$ hadroproduction with nonzero transverse momenta at fixed target energies $\sqrt{s}\simeq 40$ GeV. It is shown that the color-octet contribution is dominant in the asymmetries. The expected asymmetries and statistical errors in a future option of HERA with longitudinally polarized protons at HERA-$\vec{N}$ should allow one to distinguish between different parametrizations for the polarized gluon distribution in the proton.
