, and the double-spin asymmetry,

, for inclusive multi-γ pair production in which γ-rays came from neutral mesons were measured with a 200
GeV/
c longitudinally-polarized proton beam and a longitudinally-polarized proton target. Most of the multi-γ pairs comes from two-jet type events which are sensitive to partonic interaction. The
A
LL
values were found to be consistent with zero. The invariant double-differential cross section for inclusive

π
0 production was also measured. These measured cross sections are consistent with LUND Monte Carlo simulations. Using the LUND Monte Carlo simulation package with the Carlitz-Kaur model of spin dependent distribution functions of valence quarks, the
A
LL
values have been compared with theoretical predictions of gluon polarization,
ΔG/
G. The results put restrictions on the size of
ΔG/
G in the region of 0.05 ⪅
