The PHENIX experiment has measured the spin alignment for inclusive $J/psirightarrow e^{+}e^{-}$ decays in $p$+$p$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=510$ GeV at midrapidity. The angular distributions have been measured in three different polarization frames, and the three decay angular coefficients have been extracted in a full two-dimensional analysis. Previously, PHENIX saw large longitudinal net polarization at forward rapidity at the same collision energy. This analysis at midrapidity, complementary to the previous PHENIX results, sees no sizable polarization in the measured transverse momentum range of $0.0<p_T<10.0$ GeV/$c$. The results are consistent with a previous one-dimensional analysis at midrapidity at $sqrt{s}=200$ GeV. The transverse-momentum-dependent cross section for midrapidity $J/psi$ production has additionally been measured, and after comparison to world data we find a simple logarithmic dependence of the cross section on $sqrt{s}$.

We present measurements of the differential cross sections of inclusive $J/psi$ meson production as a function of transverse momentum ($p_{T}^{J/psi}$) using the $mu^{+}mu^{-}$ and $e^{+}e^{-}$ decay channels in proton+proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 510 and 500 GeV, respectively, recorded by the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The measurement from the $mu^{+}mu^{-}$ channel is for 0 $< p_{T}^{J/psi} <$ 9 GeV/$c$ and rapidity range $|y^{J/psi}| < $ 0.4, and that from the $e^{+}e^{-}$ channel is for 4 $< p_{T}^{J/psi} <$ 20 GeV/$c$ and $|y^{J/psi}| < $ 1.0. The $psi(2S)$ to $J/psi$ ratio is also measured for 4 $< p_{T}^{rm meson} <$ 12 GeV/$c$ through the $e^{+}e^{-}$ decay channel. Model calculations, which incorporate different approaches toward the $J/psi$ production mechanism, are compared with experimental results and show reasonable agreement within uncertainties.
The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured the differential cross section, mean transverse momentum, mean transverse momentum squared of inclusive $J/psi$ and cross-section ratio of $psi(2S)$ to $J/psi$ at forward rapidity in pp collisions at sqrts = 510 GeV via the dimuon decay channel. Comparison is made to inclusive $J/psi$ cross sections measured at sqrts = 200 GeV and 2.76--13 TeV. The result is also compared to leading-order nonrelativistic QCD calculations coupled to a color-glass-condensate description of the low-$x$ gluons in the proton at low transverse momentum ($p_T$) and to next-to-leading order nonrelativistic QCD calculations for the rest of the $p_T$ range. These calculations overestimate the data at low $p_T$. While consistent with the data within uncertainties above $approx3$ GeV/$c$, the calculations are systematically below the data. The total cross section times the branching ratio is BR $dsigma^{J/psi}_{pp}/dy (1.2<|y|<2.2, 0<p_T<10~mbox{GeV/$c$}) =$ 54.3 $pm$ 0.5 (stat) $pm$ 5.5 (syst) nb.
PHENIX measurements are presented for the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry ($A_{LL}$) in inclusive $pi^0$ production at midrapidity from $p$$+$$p$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=510$~GeV from data taken in 2012 and 2013 at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The next-to-leading-order perturbative-quantum-chromodynamics theory calculation is in excellent agreement with the presented cross section results. The calculation utilized parton-to-pion fragmentation functions from the recent DSS14 global analysis, which prefer a smaller gluon-to-pion fragmentation function. The $pi^{0}A_{LL}$ results follow an increasingly positive asymmetry trend with $p_T$ and $sqrt{s}$ with respect to the predictions and are in excellent agreement with the latest global analysis results. This analysis incorporated earlier results on $pi^0$ and jet $A_{LL}$, and suggested a positive contribution of gluon polarization to the spin of the proton $Delta G$ for the gluon momentum fraction range $x>0.05$. The data presented here extend to a currently unexplored region, down to $xsim0.01$, and thus provide additional constraints on the value of $Delta G$. The results confirm the evidence for nonzero $Delta G$ using a different production channel in a complementary kinematic region.
We report a measurement of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry A_LL and the differential cross section for inclusive Pi0 production at midrapidity in polarized proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV. The cross section was measured over a transverse momentum range of 1 < p_T < 17 GeV/c and found to be in good agreement with a next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculation. The longitudinal double-spin asymmetry was measured in the range of 3.7 < p_T < 11 GeV/c and excludes a maximal positive gluon polarization in the proton. The mean transverse momentum fraction of Pi0s in their parent jets was found to be around 0.7 for electromagnetically triggered events.
We report new STAR measurements of the single-spin asymmetries $A_L$ for $W^+$ and $W^-$ bosons produced in polarized proton--proton collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 510 GeV as a function of the decay-positron and decay-electron pseudorapidity. The data were obtained in 2013 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 250 pb$^{-1}$. The results are combined with previous results obtained with 86 pb$^{-1}$. A comparison with theoretical expectations based on polarized lepton-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering and prior polarized proton--proton data suggests a difference between the $bar{u}$ and $bar{d}$ quark helicity distributions for $0.05 < x < 0.25$. In addition, we report new results for the double-spin asymmetries $A_{LL}$ for $W^pm$, as well as $A_L$ for $Z/gamma^*$ production and subsequent decay into electron--positron pairs.
