Polarization and high-energy lepton-nucleon scattering

  • Published:
La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento (1978-1999) Aims and scope

Conclusions

We have seen, with a few examples, that physics with polarized leptons is extremely interesting and rich, but difficult due to the generally small effects. Lepton spin physics at high energy has already provided important information: two measurements of sin2θw, the proton spin structure and the Bjorken sum rule, and test of the basic theoretical framework with a check of the V, A structure of weak interactions. Many additional measurements could be carried out with existing beams and equipment and some are already scheduled. Improvements in polarized beams, polarized targets and, to a minor extent, in detectors could open up several possibilities of new measurements. The relevance of the additional handle provided by polarized experiments is agreed by everybody; to make this kind of physics crucial is perhaps not an impossible task, and it is certainly worth it, but one has to strive even harder.
