The cross section and double-helicity asymmetry for production of non-identified positive and negative charged hadrons at midrapidity in p+p collisions at sqrt(s) = 62.4 GeV have been measured by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) for a transverse momentum range of 0.5-4.5 GeV/c. The cross section measurements are compared to next-to-leading order and next-to-leading log perturbative QCD calculations, providing information on the applicability of these calculation techniques in the measured kinematic range. The double-helicity asymmetry measurement at this moderate energy provides sensitivity to Delta G, the gluon spin contribution to the spin of the proton, up to modestly larger values of the gluon momentum fraction than previous RHIC measurements at 200 GeV.
