Welcome to GDH2004 at ODU
GDH2004 Poster
    Conference Summary

    GDH2004 is the 3rd symposium in a series begun by "GDH2000" in Mainz, Germany, followed by "GDH2002" in Genova, Italy. The goal of these symposia is to bring together experimentalists and theorists working on spin structure functions and their moments at low and intermediate energies. The 3rd symposium in 2004 is jointly organized by  Old Dominion University and Jefferson Lab.

    Place and Time: 

    The symposium will take place on the campus of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia (USA);  June 2 - 5, 2004.  The symposium is preceded by a reception and registration on the evening of June 1, in the foyer of the Mills-Godwin Life Sciences building (MGB). All plenary talks will be held in Room 102 of the Mills-Godwin building and parallel sessions will be held in Rooms 100 and 200 in the Oceanography and Physics Building. Symposium participants will be housed on campus in "Monarch House" or in the "Powhatan Apartments".

    Program Overview:

    The symposium will consist of about 20 invited and 30 contributed talks (in three parallel sessions). In addition, there will be 2 topical sessions with roundtable discussions. Topics include

    • recent results on the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) Sum Rule with real photons and its extensions to virtual photons
    • inclusive spin structure functions at low to moderate Q^2 and their moments
    • exclusive measurements of nucleon spin structure in the resonance region
    • spin polarizabilities and Compton scattering
    • chiral perturbation theory and other low-energy limits of QCD
    • lattice QCD, duality, and phenomological models
    • nuclear effects and the GDH Sum Rule in nuclei
    • experimental techniques (polarized targets and beams)
    • future plans and projects
