Subject: A New Spin on the Proton: the Perspective from RHIC
In the naive model of the proton, its 1/2 spin is carried by its
quark constituents. However, experiments over the last several decades have shown that the quark spin only contribute a small portion of the proton spin. In this talk, I will discuss the current status of world efforts for solving this "spin crisis", focusing on the theoretical challenges and the perspective from the RHIC spin program.
