Abstract
Transverse single spin asymmetries A N are expected to be sensitive to par-ton polarization and orbital angular momentum contributions to the nucleon spin. Significantly large A N has been observed in different collision systems such as semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) and polarized proton-proton ( pp ) collisions, indicating a dominant contribution of partonic interactions in the non-perturbative regime. Therefore it’s critical to measure A N in various channels of polarized pp collisions in order to complement SIDIS data and to constrain theoretical models. We report STAR asymmetry measurements on mid-rapidity hadron-jet and di-hadron correlations at √ s = 200 GeV and forward rapidity inclusive hadron production at √ s = 500 GeV polarized pp collisions.
