We discuss target mass effects in the polarized virtual photon structure functions $g_1^\gamma (x,Q^2,P^2)$, $g_2^\gamma (x,Q^2,P^2)$ for the kinematic region $\Lambda^2\ll P^2 \ll Q^2$, where $-Q^2 (-P^2)$ is the mass squared of the probe…

Spin-1 hadrons contain different aspects of spin physics from the ones of the spin-1/2 nucleon because of the existence of tensor-polarized structure functions. In the charged-lepton deep inelastic scattering from a spin-1 hadron or…
Employing the polarization degrees of freedom in the deuteron allows to isolate smaller than average inter-nucleon distances in the deuteron. As a result one can identify set of high $Q^2$ reactions off polarized deuteron which are…
