Abstract

We present a measurement of the longitudinal spin cross section asymmetry for deep-inelastic muon-nucleon interactions with two high transverse momentum hadrons in the final state. Two methods of event classification are used to increase the contribution of the photon-gluon fusion process to above 30%. The most effective one, based on a neural network approach, provides the asymmetries ApℓN→ℓhhX=0.030±0.057(stat)±0. 010(syst) and AdℓN→ℓhhX=0.070±0. 076(stat)±0.010(syst). From these values we derive an averaged gluon polarization ΔG/G=-0.20±0.28(stat)±0.10(syst) at an average fraction of nucleon momentum carried by gluons 〈η〉 = 0.07.
