For this experiment, for the first time a Hadron Blind Detector (HBD), which is a position-sensitive gas Cherenkov counter with Gas Electron Multiplier whose surface is evaporated by CsI, was employed. This HBD contributes to reducing the background from electron pairs produced by real and virtual photon conversion. Furthermore, the author develops a new analysis method for the background reduction, and the signal-to-background ratio is improved by a factor of roughly 2.0. Using the combination of the HBD and a new analysis method, the double-spin asymmetry of the electron production with transverse momentum ranging 0.5 < pT < 3.0 GeV/c is measured and confirmed to be zero-consistent within the limit of the statistical uncertainty of about 1%. This result identifies the constraint of the gluon polarization in the small Bjorken x region, a worldwide first. 000705649 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 17, 2014). 000705649 650_0 $$aHeavy particles (Nuclear physics) 000705649 650_0 $$aSymmetry (Physics) 000705649 650_0 $$aParticles (Nuclear physics)$$xFlavor. 000705649 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000705649 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000705649 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-54616-0$$zOnline Access 000705649 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:705649$$pGLOBAL_SET 000705649 980__ $$aEBOOK 000705649 980__ $$aBIB 000705649 982__ $$aEbook 000705649 983__ $$aOnline 000705649 994__ $$a92$$bISE
