Using a simple picture of the constituent quark as a composite system of point-like partons, we construct the polarized parton distributions by a convolution between constituent quark momentum distributions and constituent quark structure…
Nuclear parton distributions and structure functions are determined in an effective chiral quark theory. We also discuss an extension of our model to fragmentation functions.
We study the polarized structure functions in QCD. We show that $g_T$ which probes helicity flip interactions in hadrons on the light-front indeed measures the QCD dynamics of chiral symmetry breaking. The relation between chiral symmetry…

In the Framework of {\it{valon model}} we have calculated the parton distribution in a valon for both the polarized and unpolarized cases. These distributions are originated purely from the dressing of a valence quark in QCD and are common…
In this talk results from a new QCD analysis in leading (LO) and next--to--leading (NLO) order are presented. New parametrizations of the polarized quark and gluon densities are derived together with parametrizations of their fully…
We report on a high statistics quenched lattice QCD calculation of the deep-inelastic structure functions $F_1$, $F_2$, $g_1$ and $g_2$ of the proton and neutron. The theoretical basis for the calculation is the operator product expansion.…

The nucleon structure study in nuclear deep inelastic scattering is considered. It is shown that nuclear data provide a new source of information about dynamics of parton distributions in the nucleon. An example of the neutron structure…

We discuss the relations between the twist 2 and twist 3 contributions to polarized deep-inelastic scattering structure functions both for neutral and charged current interactions which are predicted by the operator product expansion in…
We establish the relationship between distribution and fragmentation functions and the structure functions appearing in the cross section of polarized 1-particle inclusive deep-inelastic scattering. We present spectator model evaluations of…

Parton distributions are constructed in a statistical physical picture of the nucleon. The chiral properties of QCD lead to strong relations between quarks and antiquarks distributions and the importance of the Pauli exclusion principle is…
