1. Spin and k ┴ dependent parton distributions Mauro Anselmino, ECT* Trento, 04/07/2006 - a closer look at the nucleon structure -  integrated partonic distributions  the missing piece, transversity  partonic intrinsic motion (TMD)  spin and k ┴ : transverse Single Spin Asymmetries  SSA in SIDIS and p-p, p-pbar inclusive processes  conclusions (with the help of antiprotons)

2. K ┴ integrated parton distributions quark distribution – well known quark helicity distribution – known transversity distribution – unknown all equally important related to positivity bound chiral-even related to chiral-odd gluon helicity distribution – poorly known are fundamental leading-twist quark and (or distributions depending on longitudinal momentum fraction x

5. Research Plan for Spin Physics at RHIC February 11, 2005 Figure 11: Left: results for Δg(x,Q 2 = 5GeV 2 ) from recent NLO analyses [1, 2, 36] of polarized DIS. The various bands indicate ranges in Δg that were deemed consistent with the scaling violations in polarized DIS in these analyses. The rather large differences among these bands partly result from differing theoretical assumptions in the extraction, for example, regarding the shape of Δg(x) at the initial scale. Note that we show xΔg as a function of log(x), in order to display the contributions from various x-regions to the integral of Δg. Right: the “net gluon polarization” Δg(x,Q 2 )/g(x,Q 2 ) at Q 2 = 5 GeV 2, using Δg of [2] and its associated band, and the unpolarized gluon distribution of [82].
