Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there has been a steady progress in research activities related to spin phenomena in high energy physics and their theoretical interpretations. This Special Issue is devoted to the various aspects of studies related to the spin degrees of freedom and their manifestation in the structure of particles and in their interaction dynamics. Research on spin phenomena has now attracted a significant following of experimental and theoretical physicists, and therefore, both experimental and theoretical aspects of spin studies will be discussed in this issue, making it interesting for a wide audience in the high-energy physics community. The already obtained experimental results along with their interpretations and future prospects of spin studies will be treated. Emphasis under these discussions will be given to the spin-dependent measurements in further testing of QCD, the Standard Model, spin structute of hadrons studies, and role of spin in the nonperturbative regime of QCD with an impact on the possible confinement problem solution and impartance of spin for the spontaneous chiral symmetry-breaking phenomena.

Soft diffraction phenomena in elastic nucleon scattering are considered from the viewpoint of the spin dependence of the interaction potential. Spin-dependent pomeron effects are analyzed for elastic pp scattering, and spin-dependent differential cross sections and spin correlation parameters are calculated. The spin correlation parameter AN is examined on the basis of experimental data from s=4.9 GeV up to 23.4GeV in the framework of the extended High Energy Generalized Structure (HEGS) model. It is shown that the existing experimental data of proton-proton and proton-antiproton elastic scattering at high energy in the region of the diffraction minimum and at large momentum transfer give the support of the existence of the energy-independent part of the hadron spin flip amplitude.

The transversity and the Sivers distribution functions of quarks incorporate important information about the transverse-spin and transverse-momentum structure of nucleons. We show how these distributions can be directly determined point by point from leptoproduction asymmetry data collected for various targets and produced hadrons by the COMPASS Collaboration. Only simple symmetry relations are used in the extraction. Full article

The role of spin degrees of freedom in high-energy hadron-hadron and lepton-hadron scattering is reviewed with emphasis on the dominant role of soft, diffractive, non-perturbative effects. Explicit models based on analyticity and Regge-pole theory, including the pomeron trajectory (gluon exchange in the t channel) are discussed. We argue that there is a single, universal pomeron in Nature, manifest as relatively “soft” or “hard”, depending on the kinematics considered. Both the pomeron and the non-leading (secondary) Regge trajectories, made of quarks are non-linear, complex functions. They are populated by a finite number of resonances: known baryons and mesons in case of the reggeons and hypothetical glueballs in case of the pomeron (“oddballs” on the odderon trajectory). Explicit models and fits are presented that may be used in recovering generalized parton distributions from deeply virtual Compton scattering and electoproduction of vector mesons. Full article

We present a review of the possibilities to conduct experiments of high efficiency in the nuclear and high energy physics with spin-polarized beams in a collider complex, configuration of which includes Siberian snakes or figure-8 collider ring. Special attention is given to the recently elicited advantageous possibility to conduct high precision experiments in a regime of the spin transparency (ST) when the design global spin tune is close to zero. In this regime, the polarization control is realized by use of spin navigators (SN), which are compact special insertions of magnets dedicated to a high flexibility spin manipulation including frequent spin flips.

A brief recollection of the problems related to a significant hyperon polarization observed in pp-collisions is given with an emphasis on the general role of spin in the dynamics of hadron interactions. The old, unsolved problem of the observation of a significant hyperon polarization can provide new insights as a result of the measurements of energies at the LHC; in combination with other measurements, these can be used to tag the QGP formation in pp-collisions with colliding beams. Polarization studies in the processes of hyperon production do not require the use of polarized beams or targets and can be performed in the existing experimental environment at the LHC. Model predictions based on the chiral dynamics and pictures of the impact parameter are presented for the illustration of a possible dynamical mechanism that leads to a hyperon polarization.
