Based on the effective invariant amplitudes of the transitions $J/\psi\to\gamma X(J^P)$ and $X(J^P)\to\phi\phi$, the spin dependence of the $J/\psi\to\gamma X(J^P)\to\gamma\phi\phi$ decay amplitude is obtained in the case of the…

Jet production in $ep$ collisions is sensitive to the partonic structure of photon. The latest measurements of dijet production from the H1 experiment provide new results of the gluon density of real photons at low $x$ and, for the first…
We review the present data on high-energy, spin-dependent photoabsorption. We find a strong isotriplet term in $(\sigma_A - \sigma_P)$ which persists from $Q^2 \sim 0.25$GeV$^2$ to high $Q^2$ polarised deep inelastic scattering. For $Q^2…

We have compared polarized parton densities determined in the NLO QCD fits to polarized structure functions and spin asymmetries. We consider models of such distributions based on MRST 99 and MRST 2001 fits to non-polarized data. Simple…
The recent high precision SMC data on polarized $\mu p$ scatterings have again confirmed that very little of the proton spin is carried by quarks. To unravel the mystery of the proton spin structure, it is quite important to know the…

Interactions of virtual photons are analyzed in terms of photon structure. It is argued that the concept of parton distribution functions is phenomenologically very useful even for highly virtual photons involved in hard collisions. This…
We have measured the neutron structure function g$_{2}^{n}$ and the virtual photon-nucleon asymmetry A$_{2}^{n}$ over the kinematic range $0.014\leq x \leq 0.7$ and $1.0 \leq Q^{2} \leq 17.0$ by scattering 48.3 GeV longitudinally polarized…
We consider a new approach for taking into account the Q2 dependence of asymmetry A_1. This approach is based on the similarity of the Q2 behavior and the shape of the spin-dependent structure function g_1(x,Q^2) and spin averaged structure…

Light-front Hamiltonian dynamics is used to relate low-energy constituent quark models to deep inelastic unpolarized structure functions of the nucleon. The approach incorporates the correct Pauli principle prescription consistently and it…
The spin polarization (P) of high-density InSb two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) has been measured using both parallel and tilted magnetic fields. P is found to exhibit a superlinear increase with the total field B. This P-B…
We perform a global analysis of all available spin-dependent proton structure function data, covering a large range of Q^2, 1 < Q^2 < 30 GeV^2, and calculate the lowest moment of the g_1 structure function as a function of Q^2. From the Q^2…
