High Energy Spin Physics

By Karl-Heinz Althoff

Subjects: Nuclear physics, Physics, Leptons (nuclear physics), Hadrons, Nuclear spin, Quantum theory

Description: The wide coverage of the recent international meeting at Bonn on high energyspin physics is reflected in this proceedings volume. Not only are fundamental and theoretical spin phenomena included but also technological developments in polarized beams and targets, and, for the first time, intermediate energy spin physics with electron machines. Highlights include the work on polarized high energy electron beams at LEP and TRISTAN, discussion of the failure of the standard model inconnection with spin phenomena, in particular the growth of the spin asymmetry in violent proton-proton scattering, the presentation of different models to account for the still-unsolved "proton spin crisis", and proposals for four different experiments to determine the spin structurefunctions.
