Description

It has been more than 30 years since the EMC published a surprising result on the spin structure of the proton: the spins of its three quark components account for only a small part of the spin of the proton. In this talk, we discuss what has been learned so far, what is still missing and what could be learned from the upcoming experiments, including the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade and the proposed Electron-Ion Collider.
