Neutral Pions in Very Forward Collision Area Exhibit Huge Left-Right Asymmetry

A group of researchers including scientists from the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science, University of Tokyo, Nagoya University, and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) used the spin-polarized Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States to show that, in polarized proton-proton collisions, neutral pions emitted in the very forward area of collisions--where direct interactions involving quarks and gluons are not applicable--still have a large degree of left-right asymmetry.
