The measurements of the spin structure functions for the proton and neutron are reviewed. Recent high–precision data have allowed the Bjorken sum rule to be verified to within ca. 10% accuracy,…
Spin physics in deep inelastic scattering: summary
The problem of our understanding of the spin structure of the nucleon has been with us since the publication of the EMC measurements of the polarized structure function of the proton in 1987. In this…
Small-X behaviour of the non-singlet structure function
The smallx behaviour of the non-singlet structure function is studied within the double logarithmic approximation (DLA) of perturbative QCD. Since there is neitherkT norθ ordering in the ladder…
The Spin structure of the nucleon
Abstract We provide an introduction to the ideas of spin-dependent deep-inelastic scattering. Recent experimental results are summarised and possible explanations related to the axial anomaly…
Spin dependent structure function g1 at low x and low Q2
Theoretical description of the spin dependent structure function g_1(x,Q^2) in the region of low values of x and Q^2 is presented. It contains the Vector Meson Dominance contribution and the QCD…
SPIN CONSTRAINTS ON REGGE PREDICTIONS AND PERTURBATIVE EVOLUTION IN HIGH ENERGY COLLISIONS
Two key issues in the application of perturbative QCD and Regge predictions to high energy processes are whether the hard and soft pomerons should be considered as two separate distinct exchanges and…

A phenomenological model for the spin-dependent structure functions
SummaryA model for the polarized proton, neutron and deuteron structure functions embodying various features expected from the theory is presented. Each structure function is constructed from its…

Spin content of the proton.
TLDR
It is argued that errors have been underestimated, specifically those arising from the uncertainty of the extrapolation to infinite energy (x..-->..0).
Vacuum structure and diffraction scattering
A simple model of the vacuum is developed in order to explain the properties of the pomeron observed in experiments. In the model, pomeron exchange corresponds to two-gluon exchange. We explain how…

Sum rule for deep-inelastic electroproduction from polarized protons
A sum rule is derived for the asymmetry in deep-inelastic scattering of polarized electrons from polarized protons: ∫01dξgep(ξ)≈0.15gA. The result follows from the quark light-cone algebra and the…
Proton structure function at smallQ2
A fit is made to the data for the proton structure function up toQ2=10 GeV2, including the real γp total cross-section. It is economical and simple, and its form is motivated by physical principles.…
