Description
Recent highlights from experiments involving target and/or beam polarization at BNL, CERN, DESY, Fermilab, and Jefferson Lab are presented. These measurements aim at unraveling proton spin in terms of the contributions from its quarks and gluons; how proton spin is correlated with parton motion inside the proton; and how the proton spin influences the spatial distributions of partons, thus providing a novel multi-dimensional and dynamic picture of the proton.
