The latter echoed an earlier result from Fermilab at lower energies, where perturbative QCD was not thought to be applicable. At HERMES, but not yet definitively at RHIC, measurements have disentangled the contributions due to quark transverse spin preferences and transverse motion preferences within a transversely polarized proton. The motional preferences are intriguing because they require spin-orbit correlaexperiments have revealed the proton s internal makeup with ever-increasing precision, largely through the use of electron QCD the distributions of the elementary quarks and gluons, as well as their motion and spin polarization.

On the right is that of the (much larger) proton distribution for reference. The widths of the colored bands represent the uncertainties. A decade ago, as described in the 1999 NRC report (The Core of Matter, the Fuel of Stars, National Academies Press [1999]), our knowledge of neutron structure was quite limited and unable to constrain calculations, but as promised, advances in polarization techniques led to substantial improvement.?''(f"&t&o(,-c&u,v1-&#1$%-*:(21$'&%1&v"#%1-&w1-f&w,#%1-';&x ( G&X = G&X ' 26 QCD and the Structure of Hadrons HB,-3"& 5.FF"%-. + T&"O(,21$'& Y*%B T&($C$1Y$'
