[Cuga] First Circular - Tensor Spin Observables Workshop- A message from Karl Slifer

[Lorelei Chopard]

Dear Colleagues

We are pleased to announce the *1st Tensor Spin Observables Workshop* to 
be held at Jefferson Lab, Newport News VA, USA March 10-12, 2014.

*DESCRIPTION:*
The Jefferson Lab PAC recently approved an experiment (E12-13-011) which 
will use a tensor polarized solid target. This exciting development 
holds the potential of initiating a new generation of tensor spin 
physics at JLab12 and for the planned EIC.  Experiments which utilize 
tensor polarized targets can help clarify how nuclear properties arise 
from partonic degrees of freedom, provide unique insight into short 
range correlations and quark angular momentum, and also help pin down 
the polarization of the quark sea.   This three day workshop will be 
focused on tensor spin observables and the associated tensor target 
development.   The workshop goals are to stimulate progress in the 
theoretical treatment of polarized spin-1 systems, foster the 
development of new proposals, and to reach a consensus on the optimal 
polarized target configuration for the tensor spin program.

*FORMAT AND SCHEDULE:*
The workshop will run from Monday, March 10 to Wednesday March 12 and 
will focus on Theoretical Progress, Target Development, and New Experiments.

*REGISTRATION:*
Registration details will be forthcoming.  Fee waivers will be available 
for a limited number of junior researchers.


Thank you from the Organizing Committee
