Abstract
Measurements of double-helicity asymmetries in inclusive hadron production in polarized p + p collisions are sensitive to helicity-dependent parton distribution functions, in particular, to the gluon helicity distribution, Δg. This study focuses on the extraction of the double-helicity asymmetry in η production (p^^→ + p^^→ → η + X), the η cross section, and the η/π0 cross section ratio. The cross section and ratio measurements provide essential input for the extraction of fragmentation functions that are needed to access the helicity-dependent parton distribution functions.
