Transverse single spin asymmetries can be a challenging tool in our understanding of the internal structure of hadrons. Some aspects and recent results are discussed.
We comment on the status and history of the proton charge radius determinations.
We review the potential impact of neutrino data on the determination of the spin structure of the nucleon. We show that a flavour decomposition of the parton structure of the nucleon as required by present-day precision phenomenology could…
The proton spin puzzle denotes the challenge of describing the proton's spin in terms of the angular momenta of the quarks and gluons which comprise it. These quarks and gluons carry a fraction $x$ of the proton's momentum. Contributions…
The Spin Physics Detector, a universal facility for studying the nucleon spin structure and other spin-related phenomena with polarized proton and deuteron beams, is proposed to be placed in one of the two interaction points of the NICA…
A fit to proton, neutron and deuteron spin asymmetries is presented and polarized parton distributions in nucleon are given. These densities have their roots in the MRS fit for unpolarized case. The integrals of polarized distributions are…
Decoding the internal structure of the proton is a fundamental challenge in physics. Historically, any new discovery about the proton has fuelled advances in several scientific fields. We have reported that gluons inside the proton…

Deepening our knowledge of the partonic content of nucleons and nuclei represents a central endeavour of modern high-energy and nuclear physics, with ramifications in related disciplines such as astroparticle physics. There are two main…

We review recent progress in the understanding of the spin structure of the nucleon. For the free nucleon the issues addressed include the status of the Bjorken and Ellis-Jaffe sum-rules and the role of the axial anomaly. We outline recent…
To investigate the internal structure of the nucleon, it is useful to introduce quantities that do not transform properly under Lorentz symmetry, such as the four-momentum of the quarks in the nucleon, the amount of the nucleon spin…
When the new data on polarised lepton nucleon scattering are compared at the same value of $Q^2$ and with a common set of assumptions, a consistent picture of the spin content of the nucleon begins to emerge. Higher order effects in…
Previous measurements with a single trapped proton or antiproton detected spin resonance from the increased scatter of frequency measurements caused by many spin flips. Here a measured correlation confirms that individual spin transitions…
Absorptive corrections, which are known to suppress proton-neutron transitions with a large fractional momentum z -> 1 in pp collisions, become dramatically strong on a nuclear target, and they push the partial cross sections of leading…
An attempt to explain with the classical stands a number of statements of the quantum mechanics has been done. At this the Plank constant appears as consequence of demand of nucleon stability. Proton can be imagined as a rotating disk which…
The spin structure of the proton is investigated in the framework of an extended quark potential model which in addition to the conventional $3q$--structure also takes into account $(3q)(q\bar q)$--admixtures in the proton wave function.…
A brief overview of various problems related to the description of a polarized proton in quark models is presented. Structure functions are discussed both for longitudinal and transverse polarization. A recently introduced quantity,…
Nucleon structure is currently understood from a unified light-front, infinite-momentum-frame framework. The specific examples of the neutron transverse charge distribution and the shape of the proton are discussed here.
