We review the theory of higher-spin gauge fields in four and three space-time dimensions and present some new results on higher-spin gauge interactions of matter fields in two dimensions.
The recent discovery of a double-pulsar PSR J0737-3039A/B provides an opportunity of unequivocally observing, for the first time, spin effects in general relativity. Existing efforts involve detection of the precession of the spinning body…
This report summarizes the work of the Energy Frontier New Physics working group of the 2013 Community Summer Study (Snowmass).
Spin is commonly thought to reflect the true quantum nature of microphysics. We show that spin is related to intrinsic and field-like properties of single particles. These properties change continuously in external magnetic fields.…
A brief summary of the theoretical and experimental knowledge of the spin structure of the proton is presented. The helicity distributions of quark and gluons are discussed, together with their related sum rules. The transversity…

We summarize the developments on the structure of the proton that were studied at the Workshop on "HERA Physics" that was held in Durham in September 1995. We survey the latest structure function data; we overview the QCD interpretations of…
Spin dynamics in spiral magnetic structures has been investigated. It has been shown that the internal spatially dependent magnetic field in such structures produces a new mechanism of spin relaxation.
We summarize the results presented in the `Physics at large p_T^2 and Q^2' working group at the DIS'2002 Workshop. Higgs searches, precision measurements as well as searches for physics beyond the Standard Model at current and future…
Selected problems of fundamental importance for spintronics and spin-polarized transport are reviewed, some of them with a special emphasis on their applications in quantum computing and coherent control of quantum dynamics. The role of the…
