Summary of the 8th international symposium on high energy spin physics

Bunce, G

The series of conferences on high energy spin physics dates back to Argonne, 1974, and the first use of the polarized proton beam at the ZGS. This conference is unique in that it is concerned both with the technology of spin and with particle physics: particle physicists need to know what experiments might be possible and target/beam/source physicists want to know what their work will lead to, and get new ideas. In many cases, and I believe that this is central to the success of spin physics and of this conference series, these are the same people. This summary will have three basic parts: where we are now relative to Argonne in 1974; a discussion of new experiments and theory---there were many new and intriguing results presented here; and new ideas for polarized sources, beams, and targets which point toward an exciting future program of particle physics. 13 refs., 2 figs., 4 tabs.
