The present status of the nucleon's spin structure is reviewed with emphasis on new experimental results.
After briefly touching on relativistic hydrodynamics, we provide a detailed description of recent developments in spin hydrodynamics. We discuss the theory of perfect spin hydrodynamics within two different approaches, which lead to…
We review several proposed spintronic devices that can provide new functionality or improve available functions of electronic devices. In particular, we discuss a high mobility field effect spin transistor, an all-metal spin transistor, and…
We discuss spin physics, Guido Altarelli's contribution to it, and what we still have to learn. We set out in particular a programme for incorporating constraints from semi-inclusive data into global fits of polarized PDFs, and discuss the…
I briefly discuss some recent developments (and recall some old news) in the theory and phenomenology of generalised parton distributions.
We give an overview of the theory for generalized parton distributions. Topics covered are their general properties and physical interpretation, the possibility to explore the three-dimensional structure of hadrons at parton level, their…
The problem of our understanding of the spin structure of the nucleon has been with us since the publication of the EMC measurements of the polarised structure function of the proton in 1987. In this talk a review of the results presented…
The present understanding of the spin structure of the nucleon is briefly reviewed. The main focus is on parton helicity distributions, orbital angular momentum of partons as defined through generalized parton distributions, as well as…
Spin is a welcome complication in the study of partonic structure that has led to new insights, even if theoretically and experimentally not all dust has settled, in particular on quark flavor dependence and gluon spin. At the same time it…
We review main features and problems of higher spin field theory and flash some ways along which it has been developed over last decades.
Three simple ideas about transverse spin observables are presented for the purpose of stimulating discussion. The manuscript is based on a presentation at the "Transversity 2014" workshop in Torre Chia, Sardinia, Italy on June 9-13, 2014…
An inventory is made of the experiments which can measure the transversely polarized quark distributions and fragmentation functions at leading twist. (Contribution to the 10th International Symposium on High Energy Spin Physics, Nagoya,…
An introduction and overview is given of the theory of spin glasses and its application.
We present a systematic study of the proton spin structure in terms of measurable parton distributions. For a transversely-polarizedproton, we derive a polarization sum rule from the leading generalized parton distributions appearing in…
The paper outlines the historical development of spin in physics from about 1920 to the present day. It aims to provide the student with an accurate chronology of important developments, both scientific and technical.
We derive a new twist-3 partonic sum rule for the transverse spin of the proton, which involves the well-know quark spin structure function $g_T(x)=g_1(x)+g_2(x)$, the less-studied but known transverse gluon polarization density $\Delta…
I describe a few of the most exciting open questions in high energy spin physics. After a brief look at (g-2)_\mu and the muon electric dipole moment, I concentrate on QCD spin physics. Pressing questions include the interpretation of new…
I present an overview of some current topics in the measurement of Parton Distribution Functions.
