We evolve virtual photon parton densities up to the SUSY threshold and higher using coupled inhomogeneous DGLAP differential equations. Reliable input parameterizations were available from the c-quark threshold. Limited $P^2$ ( target…
Numerical simulations of the quarkonium spin splittings are done in the framework of lattice nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD). At leading order in the velocity expansion the spin splittings are of $O(M_Q v^4)$, where $M_Q$ is…

We present a measurement of the deuteron spin-dependent structure function g1d based on the data collected by the COMPASS experiment at CERN during the years 2002-2004. The data provide an accurate evaluation for Gamma_1^d, the first moment…
The spin-dependent structure functions $g_1(x)$, $g_2(x)$, ${g}_2^{WW}(x)$ and ${\bar g}_2(x)$ and their moments are studied in the CM bag model. The results show that (i) $\int_0^1g_2(x)dx=0$, i.e. the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule holds,…
We perform a systematic study on the spin decomposition of an electron in QED at one-loop order. It is found that the electron orbital angular momentum defined in Jaffe-Manohar and Ji spin sum rules agrees with each other, and the so-called…
We propose a new approach for taking into account the Q^2 dependence of measured asymmetry A1. This approach is based on the similarity of the Q2 behaviour and the shape of the spin-dependent structure function g1(x,Q^2) and spin averaged…
We study the nonperturbative and higher order perturbative corrections on the electromagnetic ($F_{1p,2p}^\gamma$) and electromagnetic-weak interference ($F_{1p,2p,3p}^{\gamma Z}$) structure functions and their impact on the parity…
We use the covariant current formalism to derive the general form of the 2-photon correlation function for fully chaotic sources. Motivated by the recent discussion in the literature we concentrate on the effects from the photon spin on the…
We analyse the available data on the polarized asymmetries $A_1$ for proton, neutron and deuteron targets. We use a homogeneous and updated set of unpolarized structure functions to derive $g_1$ from $A_1$, and we accurately correct for the…
We extend the QCD sum rule analysis of the \gamma^*\gamma^* -->\pi^o form factor into the region where one of the photons has small virtuality: q^2 << Q^2 > 1 GeV^2. In this kinematics, one should perform an additional factorization of…
Predictions for the spin dependent structure function $g_1$ of the nucleon are presented. We use an unified approach incorporating the LO DGLAP evolution and the resummation of double logarithmic terms $ln^2(x)$. We show, that the singular…

We study the transition of non-perturbative to perturbative QCD in situations with possible violations of scaling limits. To this end we consider the singly- and doubly-virtual pion transition form factor $\pi^0\to\gamma\gamma$ at all…
We present a novel approach for investigating the spin structure of hadrons based on the two-point function in quantum field theory. In a rotating frame, we derive two independent expressions of the two-point function and identify their…
