12TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON HIGH
ENERGY SPIN PHYSICS
Dates: September 10-14, 1996 (Tuesday - Saturday)
Place: Free University, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
On Monday a series of lectures for Ph.D. students will be organized at NIKHEF.
- 14.00 - 15.30: W. Haeberli (Wisconsin)
An Introduction to Experimental Spin Physics
The talk will review the basic physics principles and the terminology relevant
to the study of spin-dependent phenomena in nuclear and high energy physics:
description of polarization, vector and tensor polarization, preparation of
polarized beams and targets etc. Specific problems arising in the preparation,
manipulation and accelation of polarized beams will be briefly review.
Applications to studies of the nature of spin dependent forces and studies of
fundamental symmetries (parity, time reversal) using polarized beams and targets
will be discussed at a simple level.
- 16.00 - 17.30: J. Ellis (CERN)
The Strange Spin of the Nucleon
I plan to review (at a simple level) some of the topics in my
recent paper CERN-TH/95-334,
hep-ph/9601280
with the same title,
notably sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, (not 1.4), 1.5, 1.6, and 2.1.
