Measurement of Longitudinal Spin Asymmetries for Weak Boson Production in Polarized Proton-Proton Collisions at RHIC

We report measurements of single- and double-spin asymmetries for W[superscript ±] and Z/γ[superscript ∗] boson production in longitudinally polarized p + p collisions at √s = 510  GeV by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The asymmetries for W[superscript ±] were measured as a function of the decay lepto...
