Comment on high-$p_T$ inclusive spectra measurements at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper discusses the high-$p_T$ inclusive spectra at the LHC, highlighting their non-perturbative behavior and questioning the neglect of spin effects at high energies due to observed asymmetries at RHIC.

Contribution

It provides a critical analysis connecting LHC spectra with RHIC spin asymmetries, suggesting the importance of spin effects at high energies.

Findings

High-$p_T$ spectra follow a $p_T^{-6}$ dependence.

One-spin asymmetries at RHIC remain nondecreasing with $p_T$.

Potential implications for spin considerations at the LHC.

Abstract

The high-$p_T$ inclusive spectra measured at the LHC demonstrate a non-perturbative $p_T^{-6}$ dependence. This can be related to observation of a nondecreasing with $p_T$ one-spin asymmetries at RHIC questioning the fact of the spin degrees of freedom neglect at the LHC energies.
