A summary is given on the physics potential of measuring singly polarized proton--nucleon collisions using a polarized internal target in the 820 GeV HERA proton beam. This summary is based upon talks given at the 2nd Meeting on 'Possible…
A permanent electric dipole moment of fundamental spin-1/2 particles violates both parity (P) and time re- versal (T) symmetry, and hence, also charge-parity (CP) symmetry since there is no sign of CPT-violation. The search for a neutron…
