  4. π0 AN Measurements at Forward Rapidity Inclusive π0 production Transverse Single Spin Asymmetry xF = 2pZ/√s • Rising AN with XF • AN nearly independent of √s • No evidence of fall in AN with increasing PT DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

Forward EM-Jet characteristics EM-Jet Energy 60-80 GeV # Jets dE/d(ΔR) (arbitrary scale) No. of photons in leading EM-Jets EM-Jet Energy 60-80 GeV Z γγ< 0.8, no. photons = 2 # Jets dE/d(ΔR) distribution of EM-Jets • 2-photon jets are mostly π0 • Events with more than 2 photons show • jet-like energy flow γγ invariant mass 2-photon EM-jets DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

  12. AN from fits • AN is calculated from p0 + P×ANcos(ϕ) fits over each fill on • p0 = relative luminosity • AN = asymmetry • P = polarization • --- AN’s are corrected for polarization values from RHIC-fills • --- AN and χ2/NDF are calculated over entire fills EM-Jet Energy = 55-57.5 GeV For 2-photon isolated π0 For each slice of data averaged over ~18 fills. Fits are well in control. DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

  13. AN vs. EM-Jet Energy π0-Jets – 2γ-EM-Jets with mγγ<0.3 Zγγ<0.8 EM-Jets – with no. photons >2 • Isolated π0’s have large asymmetries consistent with previous observation (CIPANP-2012 Steven Heppelmann) • https://indico.triumf.ca/contributionDisplay.pycontribId=349&sessionId=44&confId=1383 • Asymmetries for jettier events are much smaller DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

  14. AN vs. EM-Jet Energy π0-Jets – 2γ-EM-Jets with mγγ<0.3 Zγγ<0.8 2γ-EM-Jets (η + continuum) - with mγγ > 0.3 EM-Jets – with no. photons >2 • Isolated π0’s have large asymmetries consistent with previous observation (CIPANP-2012 Steven Heppelmann) • https://indico.triumf.ca/contributionDisplay.pycontribId=349&sessionId=44&confId=1383 • Asymmetries for jettier events are much smaller DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

  15. AN for different # photons in EM-Jets • 1-photon events, which include a large π0 contribution in this analysis, are similar to 2-photon events • Three-photon jet-like events have a clear non-zero asymmetry, but substantially smaller than that for isolated π0’s • AN decreases as the event complexity increases (i.e., the "jettiness” • AN for #photons >5 is similar to that for #photons = 5 Jettier events DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

  16. AN with midrapidity activities BEMC EEMC • Case-I : having no central jet • Case-II : having a central jet FMS η = 2.6-4.2 η = 1.09,2.0 η = -1.0,1.0 central EMJets forward EMJets Midrapidity EM Jets Jet algorithm : anti-kT, R = 0.7 pTEM-Jet> 2.0 GeV/c, -1.0<ηEM-Jet<2.0 Inputs for central EMJets:towers from BEMC and EEMC Leading central EM-Jets : Jet with highest pT DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

  17. Characteristics of Coincident Central EM-Jets (case-II) Energy flow within central EMJets pTdistribution For Central EMJets pTbalance (di-jet like) energy sharing (asymmetric scatterings) Forward-central correlations central/forward central/forward DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

  18. Δφ correlation between forward and central EMJets Number of photons for forward EMJets : 1,2 3 and more • Correlation is stronger for more N_photon Jets • For higher EMJets energy, correlation grows stronger DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

  19. AN for with and without a central EM-Jet 0.06 • An EM-jet in the central rapidity region reduces the asymmetries for the forward isolated π0 DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

  20. AN for the central jet : nearand away in ϕ to the forward jet Near and away side Uncorrelated central EM-Jet Correlated central EM-Jet • Uncorrelatedcentral EM-Jet is separated out DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

  21. AN for correlated central jets and no central jet cases ≈√ • Asymmetries for the forward isolated π0 are low when there is a correlated away-side jet. DIS 2014, Warsaw, Apr. 28-May 2, 2014

  22. Conclusion • EM-jets are reconstructed from photons detected in the FMS at STAR. • Jets with isolated π0 have large asymmetry. • Three-photon jet-like events have a clear non-zero asymmetry, but substantially smaller than that for isolated π0’s. • AN decreases as the event complexity increases(i.e., the "jettiness”) • Isolated π0asymmetries are smaller when there is a correlated EM-jet at mid-rapidity. • Both of these dependences raise serious question how much of the large forward π0 ANcomes from 2  2 partonscattering.
