Our work in High Energy Physics for the 1983-1984 contract year has been concentrated in two major areas: (1) analysis of existing data and preparation for the upcoming run of FNAL E-609, a study of high transverse energy proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions; and (2) study of the spin dependence of the strong interaction. Considerable effort has been made toward the analysis of the data from the 1982 run of FNAL E-609. These studies include the following: calibration and energy scale of the calorimeter; phase space Monte Carlo studies; Field-Feynman and Field-Feynman-Fox QCD Monte Carlo studies; search for Berger-Brodsky events; and study of proton-nucleus scattering. Preparation for the upcoming data-taking run has also continued. We expect the Rice contribution to the polarized beam acceleration project at the BNL/AGS to continue. We have also transported our polarized proton target PPT VI to the AGS to be used in experiments to develop a very high intensity polarized atomic hydrogen source. Also the agreement has been signed by the Director for the first-round experiments utilizing the Tevatron II polarized beam, FNAL E-704.
