The spin structure of the proton /

One of the main challenges in nuclear and particle physics in the last 20 years has been to understand how the proton's spin is built up from its quark and gluon constituents. Quark models generally predict that about 60 per cent of the proton's spin should be carried by the spin of the qu...
