Summary
• ALL for various final states in polarized pp collisions is measured at 200 GeV at RHIC.
• ALL from RHIC is constraining G to -0.8 < G < 0.2 with 90% C.L. within the GRSV framework and the probed x range of 0.02 < x < 0.3.
• Significant measured sensitivity is expected at RHIC with , +jet channels and 500 GeV run with access to lower x.
• A global analysis of the polarized parton distributions with pDIS and RHIC data is starting at BNL.
