Hughes, V W

Within the past 10 years high energy polarized lepton-hadron scattering experiments have contributed important tests of invariance principles and a new type of information about the internal spin structure of the nucleon. Time reversal invariance in the electromagnetic interaction has been established at a significant level, and very recently the important discovery of parity nonconservation has been made. The new information on the proton spin structure agrees with the general predictions of the quark-parton model of the nucleon and with a basic current algebra sum rule. These experiments have been made possible by the recent development of polarized electron sources for the SLAC linear accelerator and by some improvements in polarized proton targets.
