Speaker

Prof. Alan Krisch (University of Michigan)

Summary

First will be a review of the history of elastic scattering and polarized proton beams, and the unexpected and still unexplained large transverse spin effects found in high energy proton-proton spin experiments at the ZGS, CERN, AGS, Fermilab and RHIC. Next, will be a discussion of possible transverse spin experiments on violent elastic and inclusive collisions of polarized protons at Fermilab’s new high-intensity Main Injector.
