Program synopsis:

Spin physics plays an essential role in theoretical and phenomenological areas of research in particle physics. Theoretical studies of hadron structure and jet hadronization in quantum chromodynamics have focussed on spin and polarization correlations since the quark flavor properties of nucleons and hadrons are closely related to their spin content. Many new types of structure functions and distributions and many novel features and anomalies continue to be explored. Thus a central focus of the research programs at leading experimental facilities and colliders is the probe of the spin structure of hadrons and polarization correlations. In particular research at RHIC is directed to the exploration of the spin structure of the nucleon using new experimental techniques.

This symposium aims at promoting research in hadronic spin physics and strengthening the communications and collaborations between the theoretical and experimental physicists in the Asia Pacific and nearby regions.
