Longitudinally polarized photoproduction of inclusive hadrons beyond the leading order

Longitudinally polarized photoproduction of inclusive hadrons beyond the leading order

We present a complete next-to-leading order QCD calculation for single-inclusive large-${p}_{T}$ hadron production in longitudinally polarized lepton-nucleon collisions, consistently including ``direct'' and ``resolved'' photon contributions. This process could be studied experimentally at a future polarized lepton-proton collider such as eRHIC at BNL. We examine the sensitivity of such measurements to …
