LISS: Planning for spin physics with multi-GeV nucleon beams at IUCF
S. E. Vigdor · AIP conference proceedings · 1995
The technology developed in recent years to facilitate experiments with stored, cooled polarized beams bombarding internal targets (including polarized gaseous targets) has natural and novel applications at multi‐GeV energies. At IUCF we are preparing a proposal for a Light‐Ion Spin Synchrotron (LISS) that would adapt this technology to the exploration of nucleon spin physics in the non‐perturbative QCD regime from 1–20 GeV. I will describe the research goals of such a facility, with emphasis on a few contemplated experiments, chosen to illustrate both the range of physics issues to be addressed and the considerable advantages offered by storage ring techniques.
