We have measured the spin-dependent structure function $g_1^p$ in inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of polarized muons off polarized protons, in the kinematic range $0.003 < x < 0.7$ and $1 GeV^2 < Q^2 < 60 GeV^2$. A next-to-leading order…
We present preliminary measurements of the cross section and the double longitudinal spin asymmetry in inclusive jet production in polarized p+p collisions at Sqrt(s) = 200 GeV. The measured cross section agrees well with NLO pQCD…
We present a recent calculation of the quark and gluon contributions to the angular momentum of a composite spin -$1/2$ state in QCD. The state we consider is a quark dressed with a gluon, and we use the two-component framework in…
We show that the instanton-induced inelastic processes, leading to multi-gluon production in in high-energy parton-parton scattering, are considerably enhanced over the quasi-elastic ones, by a factor of 100. The basic instanton-induced…
We study the twist-2 double-spin asymmetries for the 2-jets and large-$p_T$ hadron ($\pi$, $\Lambda$ etc) production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering to $O(\alpha_s)$ in perturbative QCD. After deriving the complete set of the…
We consider the instanton contributions for the production of a gluon jet with large transverse momentum in QCD. We find that Mueller's corrections corresponding to the rescattering of hard quanta are likely to remove contributions of large…
In this work we investigate the single- and the double- spin asymmetries at the collisions of polarized protons $pp \to (\gamma*, Z^0,Z')+X within the scope of QCD, electroweak interaction and superstring E_6 theory. The helicity amplitude…
A dominant QCD mechanism for the single transverse-spin asymmetry in hard processes is induced by the twist-3 quark-gluon correlations inside nucleon, combined with the soft-gluonic poles to produce the interfering phase for the associated…
We review recent theoretical results from our systematic study of QCD-instanton contributions to eP processes, involving a hard momentum scale Q. The main issues are: the absence of IR divergencies due to a dynamical suppression of…
Gluon topology makes a potentially important contribution to the spin of the constituent quark.
The proton spin dependent structure function $g_1^p$ is analysed using the unified scheme incorporating both Altarelli-Parisi evolution and the double $ln^2(1/x)$ effects at low $x$. The latter are found to be very important in the region…
We point out that the size of the photon single spin asymmetry in high--energy proton proton collisions with one transversely polarized proton can be related to $d^{(2)}$, the twist three contribution to the second moment of $g_2$. Both…

It is shown how the single spin asymmetry observed in inclusive pion production is related, in the helicity basis, to the imaginary part of the product of two different distribution amplitudes, rather than to the usual quark and gluon…
