• Measurement of forward neutron at PHENIX– Experimental setup– Analysis procedure
• Result of the cross section.– Very forward case.

Motivation• In the forward neutron production, there are some inte
resting behaviors.– In ISR experiment, pp √s=30~63GeV, cross section of forward ne
utron production at low pT was measured to be larger than at high pT. [left figure]
– In the RHIC IP12 experiment, pp √s=200GeV. We found large single transverse-spin asymmetry AN (-10%) [right figure]
– PHENIX data can shed new light to understand the forward neutron production mechanism.

• Does Feynman scaling hold when going to RHIC energy?– From the ISR result, C.S. are wel
l scaling by xF at 30<sqrt(s)<63 GeV..
– Forward neutron C.S. has peak structure and it is well described by pion exchange model.
• What is the mechanism of neutron asymmetry ?– pion exchange model
• Asymmetry can be appeared by interference of spin flip.
– Twist-3 model, Siverse, Collins…

• Data set– In this analysis, √s=200 GeV data which was took from 2003
to 2005 is used. The data is corrected by single neutron trigger with/without MinBias trigger.
• MinBias is defined as detecting charged particles in BBC(3.03.9
• Calibration– ZDC : Looking the 1 neutron peak at heavy ion data.– SMD : Relative gain correction is done by cosmic-ray data.
• Simulation ( GEANT3 with pythia v.6220 or single particle generator )– Background and efficiency after neutron ID cut.– Unfold the neutron energy.– Smearing effect of asymmetry caused by position cut and re
solution.

Summary• The cross section and the single transverse spin asym
metries of forward neutron production in √s=200GeV polarized p-p collision are measured at RHIC-PHENIX.
• Cross section – It is consistent with ISR data at pT ~ 0 (GeV/c). xF scaling
holds in this high energy.
• Single transverse spin asymmetry– xF-dependence looks flat, negative polarity.
– Analyzing power of forward neutron tagged with charged particles are lager than without them.
• Prefer the pion exchange model and like diffractive process(?).
Theoretical calculation is very welcome.
