CAG Cold QCD Final Report

For many years, the Texas A&M group led by Dr. Carl Gagliardi has played major roles in STAR investigations of spin phenomena in polarized pp collisions at RHIC, with a particular focus on spin asymmetries involving jet and hadron-in-jet production. The group has also made very significant administrative, service, and leadership contributions to STAR. Dr. Gagliardi retired at the end of the Fall 2023 semester, so his efforts going forward will be on a smaller scale and unfunded. This final scientific/technical report provides a brief summary of the group’s accomplishments during the past three years, with a particular focus on activities since the most recent progress report was submitted in Fall, 2022.
