We investigate spin-dependent parton distributions in the polarized virtual photon target in perturbative 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…
We investigate the renormalization of the twist-3 operators which are relevant for the spin-dependent structure function $g_{2}(x, Q^{2})$. We derive the anomalous dimension for the non-singlet part by calculating the off-shell Green's…

We derive two relations involving spin polarizabilities of a spin-1/2 particle and consider their empirical implications for the proton. Using the empirical values of the proton anomalous magnetic moment, electric and magnetic charge radii,…
We unearth spacetime structure of massive vector bosons, gravitinos, and gravitons. While the curvatures associated with these particles carry a definite spin, the underlying potentials cannot be, and should not be, interpreted as single…
The nucleons (protons and neutrons) are by far the most abundant form of matter in our visible Universe; they are composite particles made of quarks and gluons, the fundamental quanta of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD). The usual…
We consider properties of a two-dimensional electron system in a random magnetic field. It is assumed that the magnetic field not only influences orbital electron motion but also acts on the electron spin. For calculations, we suggest a new…
We have examined the spin structure of the proton in the region of the nucleon resonances (1.085 GeV < W < 1.910 GeV) at an average four momentum transfer of Q^2 = 1.3 GeV^2. Using the Jefferson Lab polarized electron beam, a spectrometer,…
We give an overview of low-energy Compton scattering (gamma^(*) p --> gamma p) with a real or virtual incoming photon. These processes allow the investigation of one of the fundamental properties of the nucleon, i.e. how its internal…
Available analyses on moments of the spin structure function g_1 use different methods and are barely consistent with each other. We present a higher twist analysis of Gamma_1^p using a method consistent with the studies of Gamma_1^n and…
We briefly review the spin structure of the nucleon and show that it is best thought in the light-front formulation. We discuss in particular the longitudinal and transverse spin sum rules, the proper definition of canonical orbital angular…
Forward scattering amplitude of the virtual longitudinal photon at zero energy on electron in QED in the limit of small photon virtualities is calculated. The first radiation corrections are taken into account. Two terms in the expansion…
In this work, I consider the effect of the unavoidable presence of soft-photons on the spin entanglement of charged qubits, arguing that the spin entanglement is not modified if we consider the effects of the infrared structure of QED on…

The status of measurements and interpretation of the proton structure function F2 is summarized. The measurements are subjected to DGLAP fits, from which the gluon density is extracted and a comparison to measurements of F2c is performed.…
We construct an invariant basis for Compton scattering with two virtual photons (VVCS). The basis tensors are chosen to be gauge invariant and orthogonal to each other. The properties of the corresponding 18 invariant amplitudes are studied…
Measuring the spin structure of protons and neutrons tests our understanding of how they arise from quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks of nuclear matter. At long distances the coupling constant of the strong interaction…
The observed electromagnetic (EM) properties of a nucleon at high energy are studied to search for a possible metastable color superconducting phase, called a virtual phase, that has an energy density close to the true ground state of the…
