I give a very brief non-technical introduction to the intersection of the fields of spin systems and computational complexity. The focus is on spin glasses and their relationship to NP-complete problems.

This presentation will show the feasibility of studying two-photon interactions in the STAR experiment at RHIC. Signals, detection efficiencies, backgrounds, triggering and analysis techniques will be discussed.

I will try to summarize several stimulating open questions in high energy spin physics, which were discussed during the five days of this workshop, showing also the striking progress recently achieved in this field.

This talk is an attempt to summarize some of the first results obtained at RHIC. I discuss the significance of these measurements for establishing the properties of hot and dense QCD matter and for understanding the dynamics of the theory…
