Exploring the polarization of gluons in the nucleon

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We give an overview of the current status of investigations of the polarization of gluons in the nucleon. We describe some of the physics of the spin-dependent gluon parton distribution and its phenomenology in high-energy polarized hadronic scattering. We also review the recent experimental results.
