Description
Over a decade, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has provided unique data for the research of proton spin, thanks to its capability of polarized proton – proton (p + p) and polarized proton – ion (p + A) collisions. As a part of RHIC and its spin program, the PHENIX experiment has explored many interesting and unique probes for the better understanding of the proton spin. In this talk, the overview of the PHENIX Spin Program will be presented, concentrating on recent RHIC runs from 2012-2015, for various collision energies, spin orientations (longitudinal or transverse), and collision systems.
