Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Polarization Phenomena in Nuclear Reactions

The Fourth International Symposium on Polarization Phenomena in Nuclear Reactions took place from August 25 to 29 1975 at the Swiss Federal Instituteof Technology in Zurich (ETHZ). Apart from the host institution the Symposium was also supported by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics the Swiss National Science Founda tion and the Swiss Physical Society. The program of the Symposium was set up with the advice of an International Program Committee with the following members: Prof. I. Ja. Barit USSR Academy of Sciences Moscow USSR Prof. E. Baumgartner University of Basel Basel Switzerland Prof. H. E. Conzett Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Berkeley USA Dr. W. Gruebler Laboratorium fUr Kernphysik ETH Zurich Prof. W. Haeberli University of Wisconsin Madison USA Prof. S. S. Hanna Stanford University Stanford USA Prof. J. McKee University of Manitoba Winnipeg Canada Prof. G. C. Morrison University of Birmingham England Dr. G. G. Ohlsen LASL Las Alamos USA Prof. J. Raynal C. E. N. Saclay France Dr. M. Simonius Laboratorium fUr Kernphysik ETH Zurich The Local Organizing Committee consisted of Dr. R. Balzer Dr. W. Grtiebler Dr. H. Jung Dr. V. Konig Prof. J. Lang Dr. M. Simonius Prof. W. G. Weitkamp (on leave from University of Washington Seattle) It was generally felt that the Fourth Polarization Symposium should emphasize the importance of polarization measurements in the different fields of nuclear physics and explain the physical content of polariza tion phenomena.
