Welcome To HERMES

The HERMES experiment is an internal target experiment in the HERA electron beam. It will measure the spin dependent structure functions of proton and neutron and will determine the fundamental Bjorken Sum Rule. Data taking has just started in spring 1995.

Important NEWS: May 4th, 1994 a longitudinal polarized electron beam has been created in an electron storage ring for the first time.

Announcements:

• January 16-17: Physics at HERMES (workshop at DESY)
• August 3-10: School on the Spin Structure of the Nucleon, Erice, Sicily.

WWW

Information on World Wide Web. First time users should browse through here. See also information on Mosaic, the Motif-based information browser and WWW client and information on the WWW Line-mode Browser and a latex to html converter.

Preprints

HEP preprint information is available from the SLAC SPIRES HEP preprint database search. Other preprint servers are located at Cern, at Los Alamos and also in Italy(where?).

Other sources

Other information servers are available including WAIS, Gopher, etc.

Also available:

The new german postal codes ('Postleitzahlen') and the possibility to find login information of your colleagues from their mail addresses ('finger'). An ENGLISH or multi-lingual dictionary and a UNIX tutorial are available too. Here you can find a local copy of a very extensive LaTeX manual. And for railway travellers: Railway connections.
However if you want to find information which you (n)ever wanted to find on the net, have a look into GNOME's homepage.
