What has COMPASS taught us on spin of hadrons?
The HERAPDF2.0 parton densities represent the current state of the art in determining the longitudinal structure of the proton using data from Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) experiments alone. Their precision is at the few percent level at intermediate Bjorken-x, but deteriorates fast for x–>1 and also below x 10−3. The high x region in particular can also be constrained using LHC data,...
There are many opportunities to study gluon distributions at both the EIC and LHC. Most of these studies are complementary and the combined information will allow us to get a more complete picture of the gluonic properties of protons and nuclei. This applies to collinear gluon PDFs, but also to the gluon Transverse Momentum Distributions (TMDs), Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs),...
