Review of {delta}G in DIS and PP

The polarized gluon distribution function {delta}g(x) is presently studied at various deep inelastic scattering and pp experiments. The goal is to eventually determine the contribution of the gluon spin {delta}G to the overall spin-1/2 of the proton, given that the quark spins are known to only cont...

Description
Summary:The polarized gluon distribution function {delta}g(x) is presently studied at various deep inelastic scattering and pp experiments. The goal is to eventually determine the contribution of the gluon spin {delta}G to the overall spin-1/2 of the proton, given that the quark spins are known to only contribute at the level of 30%. A review of the present status and prospects will be given.
