We present a calculation for single-inclusive large-p_T pion production in longitudinally polarized pp collisions in next-to-leading order QCD. We choose an approach where fully analytical expressions for the underlying partonic hard-scattering cross sections are obtained. We simultaneously rederive the corresponding corrections to unpolarized scattering and confirm the results existing in the literature. Our results allow to calculate the double-spin asymmetry A_LL^pi for this process at next-to-leading order, which will soon be used at BNL-RHIC to measure the polarization of gluons in the nucleon.

  1. PineAPPLv1: fast and flexible theory predictions for present and future colliders

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    PineAPPLv1 provides interpolation tables supporting multiple convolutions with polarised and unpolarised PDFs and FFs for fast collider observable predictions.

  2. Proton-Proton to Antinucleon Cross Sections for Cosmic Ray Applications

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    NLO perturbative QCD calculations predict only a mild few-percent excess of antineutrons over antiprotons in pp collisions, not supporting the ~30% excess reported by NA49.

  3. Global analyses of helicity-dependent parton distribution functions

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 2.0

    Modern global QCD analyses agree that up-quark helicity is positive and down-quark helicity negative, with positive gluon polarisation at moderate x, while the full gluon spin moment remains limited by the unmeasured ...
