Description
The intrinsic spin of fundamental particles emerges naturally from relativistic quantum mechanics, implying a deep connection between spin dynamics and the forces that ultimately shape the structure of our universe. Spin is therefore an excellent probe into the nature of complex theories, such as Quantum Chromodynamics, where the manifestation of spin correlations in dynamic objects like the proton, or the hadronization process of quarks and gluons, is not fully understood. It can also be used as a tool to probe new physics, including the measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. This talk will discuss the speaker’s recent spin adventures, with protons and muons, and what she has learned about the universe.
