Abstract
This article presents a condensed summary of separate, overlapping, presentations to the Workshop on Polarized Drell-Yan Physics (Santa Fe, NM, Oct. 31 - Nov. 1, 2010), the GHP 2011 Workshop (Anaheim, CA, Apr. 21-27, 2011) and the Transversity 2011 Workshop (Veli-Lozinj, Croatia, Aug. 29 - Sep. 2, 2011) during which the author advocated for a potential experimental program based at Fermilab utilizing high-intensity polarized-proton beams of 120GeV/c to 150GeV/c. Some possible experiments in this program are introduced briefly. Interpretations for these potential experiments are presented in terms of a hypothetical solution to the “Quantum Yang-Mills Theory” problem posed by Arthur Jaffe and Edward Witten as one of the seven Millenium Prize Problems in Mathematics issued by the Clay Mathematics Institute. These comparisons illustrate the close connection between transverse-spin observables and the complex dynamics of confinement and chiral-symmetry breaking found in quantum chromodynamics.
