SPS Hadrons and Ions
Fundamental QCD questions could be answered at COMPASS if a substantial increase of luminosity of the muon beam, and of the energy of both the muon and hadron beams can be achieved.
1/ MUON BEAM.
The high energy polarized muon beam of the CERN SPS is presently offering the unique place in the world where to perform polarized deep inelastic scattering experiments. The highest available...

SPS Hadrons and Ions
The main task of the DIRAC experiment is to check precise predictions of low-energy QCD using ππ and πK atoms. At present, theory predicts the ππ s-wave scattering lengths with a precision of 1.5% for |a0-a2| and about 2.5% for a0 and a2. The theoretical uncertainty is mainly determined by uncertainties on two constants of ChPT. In 2006, these constants were obtained from Lattice calculation...

SPS Hadrons and Ions
The NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN SPS aims to discover
the critical point of strongly interacting matter and
study properties of the onset of deconfinement. These goals
will be reached by measurements of hadron production properties
in nucleus-nucleus, proton-proton and proton-lead interactions
as a function of collision energy and size of the colliding nuclei.

This provocative title is intended to call for the attention,
emphasizing the brainstorming nature of this proposal. The
acronym means: EXClusive HAdron and Lepton Instrument for Basic Universal Research.
One is looking for the answer to two questions:
- Can exclusive experiments help to understand QCD?
- Is it possible to build complete 4pi detector?
One tries to identify...

SPS Hadrons and Ions
The study of strongly interacting matter at high temperature and/or
baryon density in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions is a field
of research which has reached today a considerable maturity. Fixed-
target experiments have been carried out at the AGS and SPS with
heavy-ion beams at $\sqrt{s}\le$20 GeV/nucleon, and have been
followed by an experimental program at the RHIC ion...
