  24. What is new with Neutrino Factories hydrogen and deuteron targets in counter experiments (non-bubble chamber) polarized hydrogen and deuteron targets and beams with low contaminations, small beam diameter, beam is polarized (!) Deep inelastic scattering on the nucleon at high energies quark and antiquark structure in the nucleon spin of quarks in polarized nucleon in particular, strangeness in the nucleon tests of fundamental sum rules combined analysis with e and muon scatterings Elastic scattering on the nucleon at low energies form factors both with andbeams T.-A. Shibata, NuFact04

  25. Conclusions • Neutral and charged current neutrino interactions are useful tools to study the properties of the nucleon. • Neutrino reacts on the quark flavor selectively. Neutrino beam is 100% polarized. Selective reactions with quark helicity (spin). • ‘Proton Spin Problem’ is an important challenge for QCD (EMC,1988). Strange quark is suggested to be negatively polarized. • Hadron detection in electron deep inelastic scattering (HERMES) provides flavor separation of quark helicity distributions • Neutrino reaction is a promising approach to determine strange quark contributions to the nucleon spin . • At Neutrino Factories neutrino reactions on polarized targets are expected.
