PROSPECTS FOR MEASURING DELTA-G FROM JETS AT HERA WITH POLARIZED PROTONS

The measurement of the polarized gluon distribution function Delta g(x ) from photon gluon fusion processes in electron proton deep inelastic scattering producing two jets has been investigated. The study is bas ed on the MEPJET simulation program. The size of the expected spin asy mmetry and corresponding statistical uncertainties for a possible meas urement with polarized beams of electrons and protons at HERA have bee n estimated. The results show that the asymmetry can reach a few perce nt.
