Abstract
The two-spin parameter A in inclusive π production by longitudinally-polarized protons and antiprotons on a longitudinally-polarized proton target has been measured at the 200 GeV Fermilab spin physics facility, for π's at x=0 with 1≤p≤3 GeV/c. The results exclude, at the 95% confidence level, values of A(pp)>0.1 and < - 0.1, for π's produced by protons, and values of A(p̄p) > 0.1 and < -0.2 for incident antiprotons. The relevance of A(p̄p) for the gluon spin density is discussed. The data are in good agreement with "conventional", small or zero, gluon polarization.
