Description
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collier (RHIC) at Brookhaven National
Laboratory has been in operation since 2001 and delivered the world’s
highest energy polarized proton-proton collisions with the center of
mass energy up to 510 GeV. This has provided a unique opportunity to
study the polarized quark and gluon spin structures inside the proton
and novel QCD dynamics in longitudinally and transversely polarized
proton-proton collisions at high energy. In this talk, I will highlight
the latest longitudinal spin physics results from the PHENIX and STAR
experiments at RHIC, including studies of the gluon and flavor
identified quark polarizations inside the proton, followed by a brief
discussion of the future prospects of spin physics opportunity at RHIC.
