A longitudinal double spin asymmetry for π⁰ production has been measured by the PHENIX collaboration. The asymmetry is sensitive to the polarized gluon distribution and is indicated to be positive by theoretical predictions. We study a correlation between behavior of the asymmetry and polarized gluon distribution in neutral and charged pion production at RHIC.
