RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting

Workshop 1

 

Probing the nucleon's spin structure with longitudinally polarized beams

Back | Homepage

Date: Monday, June 18, 2007  
Organizers: Frank Simon and Alexander Bazilevsky
Time: Full Day  
Location: Room B, Berkner Hall - Bldg. 488
Summary:  
The goal of this workshop is to review the current status of experimental and theoretical studies of the longitudinal spin structure of the proton, as well as to discuss upcoming experimental opportunities at the RHIC detectors. Results are expected from RHIC as well as from DIS experiments at CERN, DESY and JLAB. The discussion will also extend to new measurements coming up at RHIC, such as direct photon measurements and the study of photon-jet coincidences. The experimental challenges associated with these next steps in longitudinal spin physics at RHIC and prospects for their solution will be discussed.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
