Polarized-beam experiments for long-range force measurements

For various reasons, massless particles and/or very-low-mass particles are proposed in theories and models of fundamental interactions. These particles mediate (semi-)long-range forces. Moreover, polarization effects are prevalent in fundamental interactions. In this paper the authors look into the prospects of performing polarized-beam experiments for long-range force measurements. Both polarized leptons and polarized hadrons (nucleus) are considered. Two kind of detection methods --- defection methods and interference methods are examined together with more specific schemes
