The proton spin puzzle has challenged our understanding of QCD for the last 20 years. We survey new developments in theory and experiment. The proton spin puzzle seems to be telling us about the interplay of valence quarks with chiral dynamics and the complex vacuum structure of QCD.

Eta-etaprime mixing in eta-mesic nuclei

Eta bound states in nuclei are sensitive to the flavour-singlet component in the eta. The bigger the singlet component, the more attraction and the greater the binding. eta-etaprime mixing plays an…

The Spin Structure of the Proton

It is shown that the proton "spin crisis'' or "spin puzzle" can be understood by the relativistic effect of quark transversal motions due to the Melosh-Wigner rotation. The quark helicity $\Delta q$…
