Probing the Spin Structure of the Proton Using Polarized Proton-Proton Collisions and the Production of W Bosons
<p>This thesis discusses the process of extracting the longitudinal asymmetry, $A_L</p><p>{W\pm}$, describing $W\rightarrow\mu$ production in forward kinematic regimes. This asymmetry is used to constrain our understanding of the polarized parton distribution functions characterizi...
