Vacuum correlator of topological charge densities $\chi(q^2)$ at low $q^2$ in QCD is discussed: its value $\chi(0)$ and first derivative $\chi'(0)$ at $q^2=0$ and the contributions of pseudoscalar quasi-Goldstone bosons to $\chi(q^2)$ at…
In this article, we calculate the scalar form-factor of the proton in the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rules approach with the three valence quark light-cone distribution amplitudes up to twist-6, and observe the scalar form-factor…

A review of the calculations of the proton's spin using lattice QCD is presented. Results for the three contributions, the quark contribution $\sum_{q=u,d,s,c} (\frac{1}{2} {\Delta q})$, the total angular momentum of the quarks $J_q$ and of…
We describe a way in which spin of quarks can enter a consistent QCD string theory. We show that the spin factor of the 4d massless, spin 1/2 fermions is related to the self-intersection number of a 2d surfaces immersed in the 4d space. We…
We calculate the leading-twist helicity-dependent generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the proton at finite skewness in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). From these (and previously calculated…
We have measured the spin-dependent structure function $g_1^p$ in inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of polarized muons off polarized protons, in the kinematic range $0.003 < x < 0.7$ and $1 GeV^2 < Q^2 < 60 GeV^2$. A next-to-leading order…
The relatively small fraction of the spin of the proton carried by its quarks presents a major challenge to our understanding of the strong interaction. Traditional efforts to explore this problem have involved new and imaginative…
