The proton spin sum rule
• Quark polarization ΔΣ ≈ 0.3 from polarized deep inelastic scattering
• Gluon polarization (ΔG) and orbital angular momentum (L) are poorly constrained
• A primary charge of RHIC spin physics ⇒ map Δg(x)

2009 upgrades • 2009 jet patch trigger upgrades
– Overlapping jet patches and lower ET threshold improve efficiency and reduce trigger bias
• Net increase of 37% in jet acceptance – Remove beam-beam counter trigger requirement:
• Trigger more efficiently at high jet pT • Measure non-collision background
– Increased trigger rate enabled by DAQ1000
• Improvements in jet reconstruction – Subtract 100% of track momentum from struck tower energy
(2009) instead of MIP (2006) – Overall jet energy resolution improved from 23% to 18% – Switching to anti-kT algorithm for final result
• Reduces sensitivity to underlying event effects • Collected 4 times the figure-of-merit of 2006
– Sampled 20 pb-1 at 58% average beam polarization

From 2006 to 2009
• 2009 STAR data is a factor of 3 (high-pT) to >4 (low-pT) more precise than 2006 STAR data
• Results fall between predictions from DSSV and GRSV-STD • Precision sufficient to merit finer binning in pseudorapidity

2009 inclusive jet ALL
• ALL separated into two pseudorapidity ranges • Forward jets involve:
• A larger fraction of quark-gluon scattering with: • Higher x quarks that are more polarized • Lower x gluons that are less polarized
• Larger |cos(θ*)|, which reduces âLL
• ALL falls between the predictions from DSSV and GRSV-STD

2009: from preliminary towards final • STAR is switching from the
mid-point cone algorithm to the anti-kT algorithm for the final 2009 inclusive jet ALL measurement: – Anti-kT tends to have a more
rigid cone – Reconstructed jet energy is
less sensitive to nearby underlying event contributions (and pile-up)
• Provides a significant reduction in the systematic uncertainties associated with trigger and reconstruction bias
• Final results available soon Pibero Djawotho - INPC2013 - Gluon polarization and jet production at STAR

Projected sensitivity for future inclusive jet ALL
• 500 GeV collisions sample smaller xT=2pT/√s • Projected statistical uncertainties • Expected asymmetries are quite small
– Control of systematics (esp. relative luminosity) will be important

• Inclusive probes at fixed pT sample broad x range ⇒ global analysis needed to disentangle shape of Δg(x)
• Reconstructing dijet final state (jet pT and η) provides information on initial parton kinematics (x1,2 and cosθ*) at LO
• STAR is well suited for correlation measurements and full jet reconstruction with its large acceptance

Summary
• STAR inclusive jet and dijet cross sections are in good agreement with NLO pQCD calculations when hadronization and underlying event effects are included
• STAR inclusive jet ALL from 2006 provides significant constraints on gluon polarization in NLO global analyses
• 2009 STAR inclusive jet ALL is factor of 3 (high-pT) to >4 (low-pT) more precise than 2006 results
– First experimental evidence for non-zero gluon polarization within the RHIC range (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.2)
• STAR will provide additional high-precision measurements of inclusive jet and dijet ALL during the next few years
