  2. N. Bohr W. Pauli preface | introduction to polarised DIS | prerequisites | quark polarisation | gluon polarisation | the (spin) structure of the nucleon Delia Haschspin structure of the nucleon GK: Freiburg-University 06/07/05 fascinatedby spin …. “You think you understand something? Now add spin…”-- R. Jaffe

  3. Pauli : exclusion principle preface | introduction to polarised DIS | prerequisites | quark polarisation | gluon polarisation | the (spin) structure of the nucleon Delia Haschspin structure of the nucleon GK: Freiburg-University 06/07/05 what is spin ?
