Description
One of the primary goals of the spin physics program at STAR is to constrain the polarized gluon distribution function, Δg(x), by measuring the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry (${A}{LL})ofvariousfinal−statechannels.Usingajetinthemid−rapidityregion|\eta|<0.9correlatedwithaback−to−backneutralpionintheforwardrapidityregion0.8<\eta<2.0intheSTARendcapprovidesanewtooltoaccessthe\Delta g(x)distributionatBjorken−{x}downto0.01.Comparedtoinclusivejetmeasurements,thischannelalsoallowstoconstraintheinitialpartonkinematics,suchas{x}{1},{x}{2}andinvariantmass.Inthistalk,wewillpresentthestatusoftheanalysisofthe\pi^{0}−jet{A}{LL}inlongitudinallypolarizedproton+protoncollisionsat\sqrt{s}=510GeV,extractedfrom80pb^{-1}ofdatatakenduringthe2012RHICrun.Wealsocomparetotheoreticalpredictionsofthe{A}_{LL}$ by next-to-leading order (NLO) model calculations with different polarized parton distribution functions.
