The Spin Structure of the Nucleon: Theoretical Overview

R. L. Jaffe

hep-pharXiv:hep-ph/0102281

Abstract

I review what is known about the quark and gluon spin distributions in the nucleon. I discuss in some detail (a) the existence of sum rules for angular momentum; (b) the interpretation and possible measurement of the nucleon's transversity distributions; and (c) the uses of spin-dependent fragmentation functions.
