“…The discovery [1,2] by the European Muon Collaboration (EMC) that the axial charge of the proton is much smaller than expected from the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule [3] implies that the nucleon spin is not simply made up by the quark spins. This surprising result was confirmed by a series of experiments: the Spin Muon Collaboration experiment at CERN [4,5,6], the SLAC experiments E142 [7], E143 [8], E154 [9,10], E155 [11,12] and the Hermes experiment [13,14,15] at DESY. They increased the kinematic range and the precision of the data to a level where QCD analyses begin to become a powerful tool like in the unpolarised case.…”
