Description
The ability to manipulate or measure a particle's spin played a
key role in the rise of the Standard Model (SM), and it continues to be
crucial to the elucidation of physics that the SM cannot explain.
Hints, e.g., to the origin of dark matter, of the cosmic surfeit of baryons,
or of the weak scale could conceivably come from experiments that exploit
spin degrees of freedom. I will offer a perspective
of the discovery opportunities, drawing examples from a broad
range of experiments at the precision frontier.
