Investigating the Spin Structure of the Proton at RHIC
Christine A. Aidala (Los Alamos National Laboratory)
Seminar Room 3, 15:00
A myriad of new techniques and technologies made it possible to
inaugurate the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) as the world's
first high-energy polarized proton collider in December 2001. Since
then the RHIC spin program has ramped up, adding a new dimension
to the field of nucleon structure, traditionally explored via electromagnetic
probes. Using strongly interacting probes offers both new challenges
and new opportunities. An overview of the program to study proton
structure at RHIC will be presented, and highlights of recent results
will be shown.
