1. Proton Spin Structure 1. Proton Spin Structure
Parton polarization function • Proton Spin : ½ = ½Δ∑ + ΔG+ L < about Δ∑= > • The polarization of valence quark (u, d) are well understood but, that of sea quark (anti-u, anti-d, anti-s) are not well constrained • This talk is about the extraction of sea quark polarization by W-boson production DSSV Global Fit (2008) (DIS+SIDIS+pp) DNS Global Fit (2005) 1. Proton Spin Structure
2. Probe Proton Spin with W boson 2. Probe Proton Spin with W boson
Probe proton spin with W boson • Extract the sea polarization by measuring the Single Spin Asymmetry of W-boson production • W is produced through pure V-A - Chirality is fixed ideal for spin structure studies • W couples to weak charge ~ flavor - Flavor is (almost) fixed ideal for flavor structure studies • No fragmentation for the final state • Asymmetry of W+ -> Δu, Δd-bar • Asymmetry of W- -> Δd, Δu-bar l+ 2.

Basic Idea: Measure Δstrip in online level -> more momentum selective trigger • RPC • add better timing! • less background sensitivity • Pb absorber • reject hadron background 3. W detection @ PHENIX
