Next-to-leading order jet cross sections in polarized hadronic collisions

Abstract

We present a next-to-leading order computation in QCD of one-jet and two-jet cross sections in polarized hadronic collisions. Our results are obtained in the framework of a general formalism that deals with soft and collinear singularities using the subtraction method. We construct a Monte Carlo program that generates events at the partonic level. We use this code to give phenomenological predictions for $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{S}=500$ GeV, relevant for the spin physics program at RHIC. The possibility of using jet data to constrain the poorly known polarized parton densities is examined.
