Present Understanding of the Nucleon Spin Structure *
نویسنده
چکیده
The present understanding of the spin structure of the nucleon is briefly reviewed. The main focus is on parton helicity distributions, orbital angular momentum of partons as defined through generalized parton distributions, as well as single spin asymmetries and time-reversal odd correlation functions.

In this paper, we reformulate three-nucleon breakup scattering in leading order approximation by considering spin-isospin degrees of freedom. At first, considering the inhomogeneous part of Faddeev equation, which is a valid approximation in high and intermediate energles, we present the Faddeev equation as a function of vector Jacobi momenta and spin and isospin quantum numbers. In this new fo...

Recent experiments at CERN and SLAC have added new knowledge about the spin structure of the proton and the deuteron. A brief historical background is presented, the status of experiments is discussed, and progress in the understanding of the spin of the nucleon in the context of the quark parton model is summarized.

Combined experimental and theoretical efforts in the past few years have led to an improved understanding of the unpolarized parton distributions f(x,Q) and the helicity distributions ∆f(x,Q) of the nucleon. It is known that the complete understanding of the partonic structure of a spin 1 2 object like a nucleon is given in terms of f(x,Q), ∆f(x,Q) and by the transversity distributions δf(x,Q),...
متن کاملUnderstanding nucleon structure using lattice simulations
This review focuses on the discussion of three key results of nucleon structure calculations on the lattice. These three results are the quark contribution to the nucleon spin, Jq, the nucleon-∆ transition form factors, and the nucleon axial coupling, gA. The importance for phenomenology and experiment is discussed and the requirements for future simulations are pointed out. Preprint number: DE...
متن کاملQcd and the Structure of the Nucleon in Electron Scattering A
The internal structure of the nucleon is discussed within the context of QCD. Recent progress in understanding the distribution of flavor and spin in the nu-cleon is reviewed, and prospects for extending our knowledge of nucleon structure in electron scattering experiments at modern facilities such as Jefferson Lab are outlined.
