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. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aHeavy ions 606 $aParticle acceleration 606 $aPhysical measurements 606 $aMeasurement    606 $aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23010 606 $aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23037 606 $aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31040 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aHeavy ions. 615 0$aParticle acceleration. 615 0$aPhysical measurements. 615 0$aMeasurement   . 615 14$aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons. 615 24$aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics. 615 24$aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation. 676 $a539.72167 700 $aNakamura$b Katsuro$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0792023 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300397903321 996 $aLongitudinal Double-Spin Asymmetry of Electrons from Heavy Flavor Decays in Polarized p + p Collisions at ?s = 200 GeV$91800478 997 $aUNINA
