Scattering Data Suggests Gluons Making only a Small Contribution to Spin of Protons and Neutrons

Scientists have acquired more clues in the mystery of how the spin, or intrinsic angular momentum of a nucleon (proton or neutron), results from its constituent parts, quarks and gluons. Marco Stratmann at RIKEN's Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science in Wako and co-workers* have used new scattering data to determine that the contribution from gluons is likely to be small.
