Some Aspects of Polarized ep Scattering at HERA

Abstract

We study photoproduction reactions in a polarized ep collider mode of HERA at sqrt(s)=298 GeV. We examine the sensitivity of the cross sections and their asymmetries to the proton's polarized gluon distribution and to the completely unknown parton distributions of longitudinally polarized photons.
