description

Abstract The prospects of a physics program which can be addressed with polarized protons in HERA are summarized and compared to those of other existing or planned facilities. It is shown that polarised protons in HERA would provide unique access to several spin related observables of the nucleon and the photon in an unexplored kinematical range, if an appropriate level of polarization and luminosity can be achieved.
