I review what is known about the quark and gluon spin distributions in the nucleon. I discuss in some detail (a) the existence of sum rules for angular momentum; (b) the interpretation and possible measurement of the nucleon's transversity…
The status of the Bjorken sum rule is examined in the light of recent data on the spin structure functions of the deuteron and proton obtained by the SMC group, the neutron by the E142 group and the proton by the E143 group. Combining the…
The experimental status of the spin-dependent structure functions as obtained from the deep inelastic scattering experiments at CERN, SLAC, and DESY is reviewed. All data show a violation of the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule. The Bjorken sum rule is…
We review the theoretical foundations of the quantum statistical approach to parton distributions and we show that by using some recent experimental results from Deep Inelastic Scattering, we are able to improve the description of the data…
The proton structure function is re-deduced from the data of deep inelastic electron-proton scattering after enhanced correction that is made due to the multiple scattering effect. The Glauber approach is used to account for the multiple…
We use the known renormalon structure of Bjorken polarised sum rule (BSR) ${\overline \Gamma}_1^{p-n}(Q^2)$ to evaluate the leading-twist part of that quantity. In addition, we include $D=2$ and $D=4$ Operator Product Expansion (OPE) terms…
The status of Compton scattering by the nucleon at energies of the first and second resonance is summarized. In addition to a general test of dispersion theories and a precise determination of polarizabilities, the validities of four…
Some higher twist corrections to the Bjorken sum rule are estimated in the framework of a quark-diquark model of the nucleon. The parameters of the model have been previously fixed by fitting the measured higher twist corrections to the…
We address novel features of deep inelastic lepton scattering on nuclei at small Bjorken variable $x_{Bj}$. In this regime the lepton-nuclear cross section involves the interference between the standard lepton-quark scattering amplitude for…
We present a quantitative appraisal of the physics potential for neutrino experiments at the front-end of a muon storage ring. We estimate the forseeable accuracy in the determination of several interesting observables, and explore the…
We re-examine the estimates of the higher twist contributions to the integral of $g_1$, the polarised structure function of the nucleon, based on QCD sum rules. By including corrections both to the perturbative contribution and to the low…
The main focus of these lectures is on those aspects of deep inelastic scattering that can be derived directly from QCD using quantum field theory, without recourse to phenomenological models. The emphasis is on spin dependent scattering,…
We note that recent results on the role of final state interactions in deep inelastic scattering make more complicated an extraction of a nucleon spin fraction carried by quarks from the experimental data obtained in deep inelastic…
A review of recent experimental and theoretical studies of characteristics of neutrino deep-inelastic scattering is presented. Special attentition is paid to the determination of $\alpha_s$ and $1/Q^2$ non-perturbative effects from QCD fits…
We present a new NLO QCD analysis of the world data on inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering. Comparing to our previous analysis: i) the values of g_A and a_8=3F-D are updated ii) the MRST'99 instead of the MRST'98 parametrization…
New results for the double spin asymmetry $A_1^{\rm p}$ and the proton longitudinal spin structure function $g_1^{\rm p}$ are presented. They were obtained by the COMPASS collaboration using polarised 200 GeV muons scattered off a…
We discuss the determination of polarized parton distributions from charged-current deep-inelastic scattering experiments. We summarize the next-to-leading order treatment of charged-current polarized structure functions, their relation to…
In this thesis we consider the polarized deep inelastic scattering in the region of low values of Bjorken variable, $x$. We formulate the evolution equations for the unintegrated parton distributions which include a complete resummation of…
Starting from Martin, Roberts and Stirling fit for unpolarized deep inelastic structure functions and using the newest experimental data on spin asymmetries we get a fit which provides polarized quark distributions. We analyze the behaviour…
We review the current state of knowledge of the nucleon polarizabilities and of their role in nucleon Compton scattering and in hydrogen spectrum. We discuss the basic concepts, the recent lattice QCD calculations and advances in chiral…
