TL;DR
This paper discusses the PHENIX experiment at RHIC, which investigates the proton's spin structure through polarized proton collisions, presenting initial results from this pioneering research.
Contribution
It introduces the PHENIX experiment's program to study proton spin at RHIC and shares first experimental findings.
Findings
First polarized proton collisions at RHIC in 2001
Initial results on proton spin structure from PHENIX
Establishment of a new research program at RHIC
Abstract
In late 2001 the first polarized proton collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) took place. The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has a broad program to investigate the spin structure of the proton. This program will be described, and first results will be presented.
