Uncertainty determination of Polarized gluon distributions
from Global Analysis of World Data
Introduction

Parton distribution functions, (Pdfs), f(x,μ2). Essential input in high energy calculation. Their precision determines physics.
Global Analysis, Assessing uncertainties is a challenge
Including experimental statistical and systematic errors. Non-gaussian sources of uncertainties from pQCD(e.g.
higher order corrections, power law corrections etc.) Parametrization choice of Pdfs at an input energy scale (μ0
2).
All these sources of uncertainties are studied individually and there combined effect on pdfs evaluated systematically .

Proton spin structure: Proton spin puzzle (1988 EMC experiment) Global analysis, [PRL101:072001,2008] ΔG not well constrained by fits to fixed target pDIS
Polarized pdf global analysis, Large number of data points (∼ 467 in DSSV) Many experiments (∼ 9) A variety of physical processes (∼ 5− 6 and growing)
with diverse characteristics, precision, and error determination.
Many independent fitting parameters (∼ 20)

semi-inclusive DIS data
so far only used in DNS fit! flavor separation
“classic” inclusive DIS data
routinely used in PDF fits! q + q
first RHIC pp data (never used before)

Avoid assumptions on parameters unless data cannot discriminate:
Large x , x--> 1, behavior is unconstrained, as there are no data sensitive to > ~0.6
Allows for SU(3) symmetry breaking with a χ2 penalty.

Summary

19
In summary, we included Run-9 PHENIX pp π0 data in the DSSV global analysis.
We showed, using Lagrange multiplier method, constraining gluon spin contribution ΔG over an x range [0.001:1] under estimates the uncertainty represented in the polarized gluon distribution function Δg(x).
We showed the effect of including the theory energy scale uncertainty on ΔG by varying the scale value by one half and twice the value of pT of the outgoing particle in pp.

Global analysis is more than just fitting data: Include experimental systematic uncertainty properly
(Normalization). Other uncertainties
alpha strong, parameterization, energy scales. role of higher twists.
Include new sets of data e.g. charged pion, direct photon, STAR inclusive jet, di-jet from RHIC...
Only after all uncertainties are included (x range) and accounted for, a clearer picture on ΔG will appear.
