Torino Workshop

[Marco Ripani <Marco.Ripani@ge.infn.it>]

Hi everybody,
I've been invited to give a talk at the "International Workshop on 
hadron structure and Spectroscopy - IWHSS08" in Torino (March 31, April 
02, http://www.iwhss08.to.infn.it/), which was intended as an overview 
of spin physics at JLab. The title I provided is "Spin physics at 
Jefferson Lab:
selected results and future plans". If you kindly agree, I'm planning to 
steal a lot from Sebastian's lectures that already contain the most 
up-to-date results. The organizers required an abstract and I thought to 
send the following:
"The investigation of the spin structure of the nucleon is one of the 
major topics at Jefferson Lab. The high current, polarized CW electron 
beam, together with solid and gaseous polarized targets allowed to make 
extensive and high statistics measurements of polarized inclusive 
scattering at momentum transfers ranging from deep inelastic scattering 
down to near the photon point and at energy transfers covering both DIS 
and the resonance region. The g_1, g_2 structure functions as well as 
the DIS asymmetry A_1 have been extensively measured and moments of the 
structure functions derived. These new measurements allowed to estimate 
higher twists and to improve the errors on several parton distributions. 
The near term program at 6 GeV will be briefly illustrated, which is 
focused on extending our knowledge of the g_2 structure function and on 
accessing the wider class of parton distributions of semi-inclusive pion 
production with transversely polarized targets. Finally, the future 
perspectives with the 12 GeV upgrade for both the inclusive and 
semi-inclusive spin observables  will be briefly illustrated."

Please let me know if you have any comments (I may have forgotten 
somebody in the recipient list above)

Thanks and Best Regards
Marco
