Abstract:  We present the first measurement of longitudinal double-spin asymmetries $A_{LL}$ for di-jets within the intermediate pseudorapidity range $0.8 < \eta < 1.8$. The di-jets are produced in polarized $pp$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV. Values for $A_{LL}$ are determined for several distinct event topologies, defined by the jet pseudorapidities, and span a range of Bjorken-x down to $x$ ≈ 0.01, a regime where the gluon helicity distribution $\Delta g(x)$ is poorly constrained. The measured asymmetries are found to be consistent with the predictions of global analyses that incorporate the results of previous STAR measurements.
