Summary

The International Workshop "Polarized Antiproton Beams - How?" was organized to study the theoretical and experimental aspects of the currently accepted methods of producing high intensity polarized antiproton beams in storage rings. The main question discussed was if such beams can be produced, will they provide a powerful new tool for studying the spin structure of both nucleons and nuclei?
