Overview

The volume presents an up-to-date survey of spin physics at the very high energies of present and future colliders. Topics discussed include the theory of high-energy spin physics, deep-inelastic scattering, polarization experiments at colliders, the production of high-energy polarized electron and proton beams, the construction of intense polarized sources and high-energy polarimeters. It will represent a significant reference in the field and an informative text for non-specialists as well, with rather complete keynote overview reports by some physicists who have contributed most to the subject. In addition, it will document the character of frontier research symposium of the Conference, with specialized reports of leading experts in the various items of the field.Contents: The Context of High Energy QCD Spin Physics (R L Jaffe) SPIN Collaboration and Polarized Proton Beams (A D Krisch) Spin Physics at RHIC: A New Twist on the Heavy Ion Experiments (M J Tannenbaum) The Problem of the Spin of the Proton and Elastic Neutrino-Proton Scattering (S M Bilenky et al) Handedness: Status and Puzzles (A Efremov et al) SLD Physics with Polarized Beams (J R Johnson) Longitudinal Electron Polarization at HERA and Prospects for Proton Polarization at Very High Energy (D P Barber) Collider Spin Physics at RHIC and STAR (A Yokosawa) Spin Structure of the Nucleon and Further Perspectives of Spin Physics from PHENIX (N Saito) Evolution of the Spin-Splitter Concept (N Akchurin et al) Summary of Experimental Data on High Energy Spin Physics (S B Nuruschev) and other papersReadership: High energy physicists.
