Polarization and spin effects are useful for probing the Standard Model, in both the electroweak sector and the strong sector, where the spin decomposition of the nucleon is still a hot topic, with important new data on the net polarizations of the gluon and the strange quarks. Spin phenomena are also useful in searches for new physics, for example via measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and searches for electric dipole moments. The cross sections for the direct detection of dark matter may also have an important spin-dependent component, related to the spin decomposition of the nucleon, that could be an important diagnostic tool. Polarization effects are also important diagnostic aids for high-energy experiments at electron-proton, proton-proton and electron-positron colliders.
