Jan Balewski: Di-jet Sivers in 200 GeV 2  Sivers effect:  Sensitive to parton orbital angular momentum  Needs ISI and/or FSI to evade time-reversal violation.  HERMES transverse spin SIDIS asymmetries  non-zero u and d quark Sivers functions of opposite sign, different magnitude.  Sivers effect in pp  spin-dependent sideways boost to di-jets, suggested by Boer & Vogelsang (PRD 69)  Both beams polarized, x a  x b  can distinguish q vs. g Sivers effects.  Do we observe q Sivers consistent with HERMES? Tests universality.  First direct measurement of gluon Sivers effects. Motivation for Di-Jet Sivers Effect Measurement

Jan Balewski: Di-jet Sivers in 200 GeV 10 Theory - exp’t discrepancy raises questions! Are observed di-jet Sivers SSA much smaller than predictions because:  ISI & FSI both important in pp  jets and tend to cancel?  Need q Sivers or different q Sivers x, k T - shapes in HERMES fits?  If ISI / FSI cancel at mid-rapidity, does their balance change at high  to yield sizable Sivers contribution to observed pp   0 X SSA?

Jan Balewski: Di-jet Sivers in 200 GeV 11 Summary and Conclusions  Large STAR EMC acceptance  large 2006 triggered di-jet data set.  Di-jet A N Sivers all consistent with zero  quark Sivers effects ~ 5-10  smaller than expected from SIDIS. Gluon Sivers comparably small.  Sensitivity of analysis to A N Sivers  0 confirmed by toy model simulations. Beam spin-sorting verified via known non-zero SSA.  Results constrain treatments of Sivers effect and of transverse spin asymmetries in pp collisions.  Extend di-jets in future to higher , where A N meas (pp   0 X) sizable.
