Polarized Collider Workshop; University Park, Pennsylvania; November 15-17, 1990

“偏振对撞机研讨会”将把理论家/现象学家、实验学家和加速器/机器物理学家聚集在一起，讨论为计划中的强子对撞机提供偏振光束选项的物理理由及其技术可行性。在极化质子(如西伯利亚蛇)加速方面的最新技术进展，以及对“质子自旋含量”问题的理论兴趣，使得对撞机和超级对撞机能量的自旋效应的讨论成为非常热门的话题。必须仔细评估在对撞机能量下探索基本力标准模型物理学的前景，以及在对撞机能量下极化质子-质子碰撞的前景，以便为任何关于极化的决定提供参考。如果要及时解决包括这种选择的技术和其他问题，就必须尽快讨论未来对撞机的极化能力。

A 'Polarized Collider Workshop' will bring together theoreticians/phenomenologists, experimentalists, and accelerator/machine physicists to discuss the physics case that can be made for including a polarized beam option for planned hadron colliders, and its technical feasibility. Recent technical progress in the acceleration of polarized protons (e.g. Siberian snakes) and theoretical interest in the question of the 'spin content of the proton' make the discussion of spin effects at collider and supercollider energies very topical. The prospects for probing the physics of the standard model of the basic forces, and beyond, with polarized proton-proton collisions at collider energies must be carefully assessed to provide input to any decision regarding polarization. The need to discuss the polarization capability of future colliders must be faced soon if the problems, technical and otherwise, of including such an option are to be addressed in a timely manner.
