DESCRIPTION:Spin is an intrinsic property of matter\, on par with mass in 
 its fundamentality. It plays a pivotal role in the structure of (sub)atomi
 c particles and their interactions. Spin‑polarized experiments provide u
 nique insights into details of the microcosm that would otherwise remain i
 naccessible. To advance spin physics at the upcoming accelerator facilitie
 s HIAF and FAIR\, the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) and the GSI Helmho
 ltz Centre for Heavy Ion Research jointly organized the first Workshop on 
 Polarized Beams and Targets – Physics and Applications (PBT2024). The wo
 rkshop focused on efforts to realize polarized beams and targets at these 
 facilities and identified key physics topics for future exploration.\n\nSi
 nce then\, significant progress has been achieved in hardware development\
 , and innovative ideas continue to emerge in both physics and instrumentat
 ion. Interest in conducting spin‑polarized experiments at other accele
 rator facilities\, particularly in China\, is also growing. It is therefor
 e an opportune time to reconvene\, review recent advances\, and coordinate
  future activities.\n\nWe are pleased to announce the second edition of th
 e PBT workshop\, which will be held from March 30 to April 3\, 2026\, in H
 uizhou. The workshop will center on polarized beams\, targets\, and spin p
 hysics at HIAF and FAIR\, while also extending the discussion to experimen
 ts at other facilities and to non‑accelerator‑based spin physics.\n\nh
