HERMES looks for final pieces in nucleon-spin puzzle

Having successfully fulfilled its mission to track down the quark contribution to the nucleon's spin, HERMES now aims at providing an even more complete picture of nucleon spin.

The HERMES gas target: 10 years on

Erhard Steffens describes the various phases in a successful decade of operation of the HERMES gas target, which may live on with future use for antiproton polarization.

Nucleon form factors stride into the future

At a three-day meeting at Frascati, physicists from around the world met to discuss the implications of striking new results on the nucleon space-like and time-like form factors.

Tokyo meeting focuses on nucleon-spin problem

Quark spin, gluon spin and the orbital angular momenta of quarks and gluons can all contribute to nucleon spin, but which has the main role? Physicists met in Tokyo to discuss.

Uppsala 2005: leptons, photons and a lot more

The biennial Lepton-Photon conference was held in Uppsala on 30 June - 5 July. The talks erected the impressive edifice known as the Standard Model and showed that experimental ingenuity has not yet s...
