There are two transverse spin sum rules for the proton: One involves twist-2 GPDs, which has a partonic interpretation, and the other involves twist-3 distributions including the well-know spin structure function g_2. I will explain the origin and physics of these two spin sum rules.

Over the last 20 years there has been intense experimental activity dedicated to the measurement of observables to help build a 3D description of the nucleon. Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) describe complementary aspects of the structure of hadrons, providing qualitative and quantitative information about the partonic structure and dynamics such as orbital angular momentum. The...

Using the self analyzing decay of the $\Lambda^0$, the longitudinal spin transfer $D_{LL}$ from a polarized electron beam scattering an unpolarized proton target to the hyperon can be measured. For $\Lambda$'s produced in the current fragmentation region, this quantity is proportional to the helicity dependent fragmentation function $G_1^\Lambda$ and can provide insight into the spin structure...
