After the initial discovery of the so-called "spin crisis in the parton model" in the 1980's, a large set of polarization data in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering was collected at labs like SLAC, DESY and CERN. More recently, new…
Deep inelastic structure functions for the nucleon are obtained in a constituent quark model on the light cone. Parton model formulas are derived. The negative slope of $F_{2}^{n}/F_{2}^{p} requires attraction between scalar quark pairs.…
We have analysed the phenomenological dependence of the spin independent ($F_1^{p,n}$ and $F_2^{p,n}$) and the spin dependent ($g_1^{p,n}$) structure functions of the nucleon on the the Bjorken scaling variable $x$ using the unpolarized…
