The Spin of The Proton: Looking Back and Looking Forward
Abstract
The physics of the spin structure of the proton is reviewed. The EMC experiment and the follow-up ones have shown that the quark spin carries about 1/4 of the spin of the proton. The suspected large gluon polarization is under intense studies with various experimental tools. Generalized parton distributions probed in deeply-virtual Compton scattering allows reconstruction of quark orbital angular momentum.
