Exploring the polarization of gluons in the nucleon
arXiv:hep-ph/0702083 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/69/1/012035
Abstract
We give an overview of the current status of investigations of the polarization of gluons in the nucleon. We describe some of the physics of the spin-dependent gluon parton distribution and its phenomenology in high-energy polarized hadronic scattering. We also review the recent experimental results.
