The Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) of the neutron is a probe for the violations in the combined Charge-conjugate and Parity reversal symmetry (CP). Many new theories beyond the Standard Model, which aim to unify the fundamental forces and solve the problem of Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe, also predict sizable EDM just lurking around the corner for discovery.

The COMPASS spectrometer at CERN took data in 2015 from a 190 GeV pion beam impinged on a vertically polarized proton target. The proton target consisted of two cells oppositely polarized with the polarization switched after each week. The goal of the 2015 COMPASS Drell-Yan data taking is to measure the Sivers amplitude from single spin asymmetries and therefore be able to determine a sign...

A fixed-target experiment using the LHC beams (AFTER@LHC) with a polarized target offers a unique opportunity to study the transverse spin structure of a polarized nucleon in a wide kinematical range. Recent studies have shown that a number of single transverse-spin asymmetries (STSA) are large enough to be precisely measured in the kinematical region accessible with AFTER@LHC, in particular...

We review the recent progress on what is known about the transverse spin structure of hadrons, in particular from observables that can be analyzed within a collinear framework. These effects have been around for 40 years and represent a critical test of perturbative QCD. We look at both proton-proton and electron-nucleon collisions for various final states. While the main focus is on...

Frozen spin polarized targets are perhaps the most complex and demanding target systems used in nuclear and particle experiments. The scattering sample is polarized in a very high magnetic field and at a sub-kelvin temperature, before being cooled to an even lower, millikelvin temperature for data taking. In some examples, the polarization and data acquisition even occur in different...

The Polarized Electrons for Polarized Positrons (PEPPo) experiment at the injector of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility has demonstrated for the first time the efficient transfer of polarization from electrons to positrons produced by the polarized bremsstrahlung radiation induced by a polarized electron beam in a high-Z target.

I will review recent theoretical progress in our understanding of the longitudinal structure of the proton. My focus will be on the framework provided by perturbative quantum chromodynamics, and will include a discussion on the determination of helicity-dependent, collinear, parton distribution functions. Connections with nonperturbative models of nucleon structure will also be outlined. I...

The current understanding of the nucleon helicity structure will be reviewed based on the recent results from the Deep Inelastic Scattering experiments at DESY (HERMES), CERN (COMPASS) and Jefferson Laboratory, and polarized proton-proton collisions at RHIC. The advent of high luminosity and high center-of-mass energy Electron Ion Collider (EIC) will open new era in the nucleon helicity...

The measurement of the violation of parity symmetry in electron scattering has proven to be a powerful technique for exploring nuclear matter and for the search for new fundamental forces. A successful history of measurements has set the stage for a series of ultra high-precision measurements, to be made over the next decade, which will test the completeness of the Standard Model description...

Based on both the constituent quark picture and the instanton model for QCD vacuum, I will talk about the latest results about gluon distributions inside the constituent quark generated by the perturbative quark-gluon interaction, the non-perturbative quark gluon interaction, and the non-perturbative quark-gluon pion anomalous chromomagnetic interaction. The non-perturbative interactions are...

Transversely polarized e+/e- beams for precision energy calibration and (possi-bly) longitudinally polarized colliding e+/e- beams are critical topics for CEPC operation at lower energy ranges (Z pole and possibly WW threshold). A preliminary study of these aspects is first presented. Then, some Monte Carlo simulation results of a model ring lattice with relevant parameters will also be reported.

We try to classify the spectrum of the two-qubit Dicke model by calculating two quantum information measures of its eigenstates: the Wootters concurrence and the mutual quantum information. We are able to detect four spectral sets in each parity subspace of the model, which may attest to the existence of a symmetry or partial symmetry in the model. One of these sets is regular and given by the...
