The spatial separation of electron spins followed by the control of their individual spin dynamics has recently emerged as an essential ingredient in many proposals for spin-based technologies because it would enable both of the two spin…

Talk presented at the Trieste Workshop on the Search for New Elementary Particles: Status and Prospects.

Nucleon transversity and single transverse spin asymmetries have been the recent focus of large efforts by both theorists and experimentalists. On-going and planned experiments from HERMES, COMPASS and RHIC are mostly on the proton or the…

A formalism for spin observables of the reaction $pd\to ~^3He\eta$ is derived in a model independent way. The general case with a full set of six independent spin amplitudes is studied. Furthermore, approximations by five and four spin…

We construct the spin formalism in order to deal in a direct and natural way with processes involving transversity which are now of increasing popularity. The helicity formalism which is more appropriate for collision processes of definite…

We summarize the theory talks given in Working Group 4 `Polarized Lepton Nucleon Scattering' at the DIS 99 workshop. The significant progress made over the last year on many of the interesting topics in `spin physics' is documented.

In quantum mechanics, it is often thought that the spin of an object points in a fixed direction at any point in time. For example, after selecting the z-direction as the axis of quantization, a spin-1/2 object (such as an electron) may…

Comment on S.-Q. Shen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 187203 (2005) [cond-mat/0506676]. We show that the equations of motion deduced by Shen are incorrect and derive semiclassical expression for the operator of force, which also contains a term of…

We report the experimental observation of a light polarization rotation in vacuum in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. Assuming that data distribution is Gaussian, the average measured rotation is (3.9+/-0.5)e-12 rad/pass, at 5 T…

This is an overview of the basics of inverse semigroup theory written for the Workshop on Semigroups and Categories held at the University of Ottawa in 2010.

The energy per particle of zero-temperature neutron matter is investigated, with particular emphasis on the role of the $\vec L\cdot\vec S$ interaction. An analysis of the importance of explicit spin--orbit correlations in the description…

A multi-institutional, multi-national science team will soon submit a NASA proposal to build a constellation of spacecraft to fly into the near-Earth solar wind in a swarm spanning a multitude of scales in order to obtain critically needed…

These are extended lecture notes of a PhD course that the author gave at the Universita degli studi di Torino in Italy in spring 2013.

I present a brief update on the transverse polarization distributions, focusing on model calculations and phenomenological perspectives.

The photonic spin Hall effect (SHE), featured by a spin-dependent transverse shift of an impinging optical beam driven by its polarization handedness, has many applications including precise metrology and spin-based nanophotonic devices. It…

Thermodynamics of the short-range model of spin ice magnets in a field is considered in the Bethe - Peierls approximation. The results obtained for [111], [100] and [011] fields agrees reasonably well with the existing Monte-Carlo…
