Description
The PHENIX experiment takes full advantage of polarized proton collisions provided by the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider to probe the spin structure of the proton. The PHENIX Spin program studies the gluon and sea quark helicity distributions as well as transverse spin phenomena via various spin observables using longitudinally and transversely polarized proton collisions.
In addition, recent data in transversely polarized proton and nucleus collisions extends these measurements and allows one to study nuclear effects in the asymmetry measurements.
In this talk, recent highlight of the PHENIX spin program will be presented.
