Status of the RHIC Spin Program
Abstract
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory has been developing the capability of accelerating, storing and colliding high-energy polarized proton beams over the past several years. During this development phase, important first measurements of cross sections and spin asymmetries for neutral pions produced in polarized proton collisions at s=200 GeV have been completed by STAR and PHENIX, the two large collider experiments at RHIC. This contribution reports on progress of the RHIC spin program and provides an outlook for the future.
