Lecture 2: What do we need polarized beams? Nucleon Spin Structure: What’s the problem? 2. Quantum Chromodynamics: The Fundamental Description of the Heart of Visible Matter
Sidebar 2.6: Nucleon Spin: So Simple and Yet So Complex The simple fact that the proton carries spin 1/2, quark spins to account for most of the proton’s spin measured in units of Planck’s famous constant, is but were quite surprised when experiments at CERN exploited daily in thousands of magnetic resonance and other laboratories showed that the spins of all imaging images worldwide. Because the proton is a quarks and antiquarks combine to account for no more composite system, its spin is generated from its quark than about 30% of the total.
