The Spin Structure of the Nucleon

Aidala, Christine A., Bass, Steven D., Hasch, Delia et al.

Understand

This article reviews our present understanding of QCD spin physics: the proton spin puzzle and new developments aimed at understanding the transverse structure of the nucleon.

  • We discuss present experimental investigations of the nucleon's internal spin structure, the theoretical interpretation of the different measurements and the open questions and challenges for future investigation.
