The fact that the spins of the quarks in the proton, as measured in deep inelastic lepton scattering, only add up to about 30$\%$ of the spin of the proton is still not understood after 30 years. We show that our newly developed model for…
One of the main goals of the COMPASS experiment at CERN is the determination of the gluon contribution to the nucleon spin. To achieve this goal COMPASS uses a naturally polarised muon beam with an energy of 160 GeV and a fixed polarised…
Measuring the spin structure of protons and neutrons tests our understanding of how they arise from quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks of nuclear matter. At long distances the coupling constant of the strong interaction…

The spin structure functions g1 and g2 have been calculated in the resonance region and for small and intermediate momentum transfer. The calculation is based on a gauge-invariant and unitary model for one-pion photo- and electroproduction.…
We study the small $x$ diffractive contribution to the spin--dependent proton structure function $g_1(x)$. We find that the $x\to 0$ behaviour of $ g_1(x)$ has a singular form like $1/(x^\alpha \ln^2(x))$ with $\alpha \sim 0.2-0.3$.
We present a new extraction of the effective strong coupling constant \alpha_{s,g_1}(Q^2). The result agrees with a previous determination and extends the measurement of the low and high Q^2 behavior of \alpha_{s,g_1}(Q^2) that was…

The pomeron structure function is extracted from the latest H1 data and are subject to a QCD analysis. The result shows evidence for gluon recombination.
Spin-polarizabilities are predicted by calculating the cross-section difference $\sigma_{3/2}-\sigma_{1/2}$ from available data for the resonance couplings $A_{3/2}$ and $A_{1/2}$ and CGLN amplitudes. The forward spin-polarizabilities are…
Spin fluctuations have a substantial influence on the electron and lattice behaviors in magnetic materials, which, however, is difficult to be tracked properly by prevalent first-principles methods. We propose a versatile self-adaptive…
Different methods to extract the polarized parton densities from the world polarized DIS data are considered. The higher twist corrections $h^N(x)/Q^2$ to the spin dependent proton and neutron $g_1$ structure functions are found to be…
We argue that the recently published CLAS results on the deuteron spin polarizability $\gamma_0$ [Adhikari {\it et al.}, Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett.\ {\bf 120}, 062501 (2018)], as well as their comparisons with chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT),…

We consider a spin-$1$ resonance produced with an arbitrary spectrum of velocities and decaying into a pair of massless leptons, and we study the probability density function of the energy of the leptons in the laboratory frame. A special…
We perform a global leading-order QCD fit to recent polarized structure function data in order to extract a consistent set of spin-dependent parton distributions. Assuming that there is no significant intrinsic polarization of the quark…
