Summary Report of PESP‐2002 Workshop Available to Purchase

A summary of the presentations for the 2002 Workshop on Polarized Electron Sources and Polarimeters (PESP‐2002) will be given. PESP‐2002 was held in the vicinity of MIT‐Bates Linear Accelerator Center on September 4–6, 2002. It is a satellite workshop for the SPIN2002 symposium supported by the International and Local Organizing Committees of the Spin Physics Symposium, and MIT‐Bates. The previous PESP workshop was held in Nagoya, Japan in October 2000. The workshop followed an interdisciplinary approach that included high‐energy and low‐energy physics, surface and material sciences, and the application of polarized sources in science and industry. In addition, PESP‐2002 included contributions on polarized sources for parity‐violating experiments that are underway at several medium‐ and high‐energy accelerator centers worldwide. The summary report will include the operational experiences of medium and high‐energy labs which are utilizing the latest developments in photocathodes to deliver highly polarized electron beams. Finally, a brief review of polarized sources in non‐accelerator applications will be presented.
