Description
The electron-proton collide HERA (Hamburg, Germany) has proven to be a valuable facility for studying proton structure, hard QCD processes, EW phenomena and searches for new physics. For the run period from 2000 till 2007 the HERA collider was upgraded with spin rotators in order to study various physical phenomena using precisely known longitudinal polarisation of the lepton beam. We give an overview of the precision measurements, e.g. electroweak couplings, and tests to the SM (searches for right-handed W-bosons and quark radius) done at HERA, which were possible due to the polarisation of the electrons. In a view of the foreseen consideration of the future electron-ion collider the experience gained at HERA may provide a valuable experimental basis.
