I review what is known about the quark and gluon spin distributions in the nucleon. I discuss in some detail (a) the existence of sum rules for angular momentum; (b) the interpretation and possible measurement of the nucleon's transversity…
The status of lattice calculations of the quark spin, the quark orbital angular momentum, the glue angular momentum and glue spin in the nucleon is summarized. The quark spin calculation is recently carried out from the anomalous Ward…
One of the important questions in high energy physics is the relation of quark and gluon spin to that of the nucleons which they comprise. Polarization experiments provide a mechanism to probe the spin properties of elementary particles and…

The various aspects of antiproton physics are shortly reviewed, and its relevance for the possible discovery of new particles and effects is pointed out. Then a survey of the nucleon-antinucleon interactions is given. In the…
In this work we suggest a simple theoretical model of the proton able to effectively solve proton spin crisis. Within domain of applicability of this simple model proton consists only of two u quarks and one d quarks (two of which have spin…

Effect of the quark intrinsic motion on the proton spin structure functions is demonstrated. It is shown, that the covariant version of the quark-parton model taking into account the orbital motion gives the consistent picture of the proton…
The complete knowledge of the nucleon spin structure at leading twist requires also addressing the transverse spin distribution of quarks, or transversity, which is yet unexplored because of its chiral-odd nature. Elaborating strategies to…
Proton spin problem is given a new perspective with the proposition that spin is a topological invariant represented by a de Rham 3-period. The idea is developed generalizing Finkelstein-Rubinstein theory for Skyrmions/kinks to topological…
QCD suggests that gluons in the nucleon play an important role in {\it so-called} ``the proton spin problem''. In this talk, the behavior of the polarized gluon distribution in the nucleon is discussed by using the positivity condition of…
The observed large rates of spinning down after glitches in some radio pulsars has been previously explained in terms of a long-term spin-up behaviour of a superfluid part of the crust of neutron stars. We argue that the suggested mechanism…
The recent controversy on the nucleon spin decomposition problem is critically overviewed. We argue that there exist two and only two physically inequivalent gauge-invariant decompositions of the longitudinal nucleon spin, contrary to the…
SMC performed an investigation of the spin structure of the nucleon by measuring deep inelastic scattering of polarised muons off polarised protons and deuterons. A summary of the results for spin structure functions and sum rules is given.
We argue that the proton charge radius conundrum can be resolved by weakening the assumption of perturbative formulation of quantum electrodynamics within the proton
This paper contains three parts relating to the nucleon spin structure in a simple picture of the nucleon: (i) The polarized gluon distribution in the proton is dynamically predicted starting from a low scale by using a nonlinear QCD…
The constituent quarks are interpreted as bound states, which have an internal structure. The quark distributions of the proton are related to those of the constituent quarks. The experiments support this hypothesis. Likewise the spin…
Spin polarizabilities of the nucleon are discussed in the framework of fixed-t and backward-angle dispersion relations, chiral perturbation theory, and the non-relativistic quark model. Calculations with the dispersion relations generally…
In a recent eprint [1] it is argued that the experimental determinations of the spin-dependent structure function g1 have been done incorrectly and that a reanalysis of those data suggests that the original motivation to argue fora "spin…
Status, open questions, and future prospects of the physics of excited nucleons are discussed. Emphasis is on the study of the structure of nucleons via measurements of their electromagnetic transition form factors, the search for "missing"…
