Crabb, University of Virginia, Physics Department, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA ; Yelena Prok, Christopher Newport University, Dept. of Physics, Cokmputer Science and Engineering, Newport News, Virginia, USA ; Matt Poelker, Jefferson Lab, Newport News, Virginia, USA ; Simonetta Liuti, University of Virginia, Physics Department, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA ; Donal B. Day, University of Virginia, Physics Department, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA ; Xiaochao Zheng, Jefferson Lab, Newport News, Virginia, USA

Conference Location and Date: Charlottesville, Virginia, 6-11 October 2008

Subseries: Nuclear and High Energy Physics

Readership: Particle physicists at National Labs, university users from professors to students. Foreign institutions.

The topics covered in the conference ranged from the physics that can be done with polarized beams of particles (protons, electrons, gamma-rays, etc.) to the techniques and instrumentation necessary to achieve this. Topics included: nucleon structure measurements (from where does the spin of the proton and neutron come), the acceleration, storage and polarization of particle beams and the polarized targets and sources necessary for monting the experiments.
