It is shown that the proton "spin crisis'' or "spin puzzle" can be understood by the relativistic effect of quark transversal motions due to the Melosh-Wigner rotation. The quark helicity $\Delta q$ measured in polarized deep inelastic…
We perform a global parton analysis of deep inelastic and related hard-scattering data, including ${\cal O}(\alpha_{\rm QED})$ corrections to the parton evolution. Although the quality of the fit is essentially unchanged, there are two…

We have made next to leading order QCD fit to the deep inelastic spin asymmetries on nucleons and we determined polarised quark and gluon densities. The functional form for such distributions was inspired by the Martin, Roberts and Stirling…
In order to obtain polarised parton densities we have made next to leading order QCD fit using experimental data on deep inelastic structure functions on nucleons. This fit is compared with the updated fit to coresponding spin asymmetries.…

In this paper polarized valon distribution is derived from unpolarized valon distribution. In driving polarized valon distribution some unknown parameters exist which must be determined by fitting to experimental data. Here we have used…
We present parton distribution functions which include a quantitative estimate of its uncertainties. The parton distribution functions are optimized with respect to deep inelastic proton data, expressing the uncertainties as a density…

The theoretical foundations of the quantum statistical approach to parton distributions are reviewed together with the phenomenological motivations from a few specific features of Deep Inelastic Scattering data. The chiral properties of QCD…
The flavor-dependent valence, sea quark and antiquark spin distributions can be determined separately from theoretical assumptions and experimental data. We have determined the valence distributions using the Bjorken sum rule and have…
Spin-dependent parton distributions in the polarized virtual photon are investigated in QCD up to the next-to-leading order (NLO). In the case $\Lambda^2 \ll P^2 \ll Q^2$, where $-Q^2$ ($-P^2$) is the mass squared of the probe (target)…
We extend the MRS(A) set of parton distributions, which provides an up-to-date description of the structure of the proton probed by hard interactions, into the region of $Q^2$ below $5\ {\rm GeV}^2$. After physically-motivated…
We check the $u$ and $d$ quark contributions to the spin content of the $\Lambda$ by means of the $q\to\Lambda$ fragmentation and find that the $u$ and $d$ quarks of the $\Lambda$ are likely positively polarized. The parton distributions in…
The twenty years since the announcement of the proton spin crisis by the European Muon Collaboration has seen tremendous progress in our knowledge of the distribution of spin within the proton. The problem is reviewed, beginning with the…
We compare the parton distributions deduced in the framework of a quantum statistical approach for both the longitudinal and transverse degrees of freedom with the unpolarized distributions measured at Hera and with the polarized ones…
