Instantons and the spin of a proton

Description

The problem of spin crisis related to smallness of an axial charge of a nucleon, found out in SLAC and European Muon Collaboration, is discussed. It is shown that nonperturbative interactions of quarks with vacuum instantons would be taken into account in computing matrix elements of currents over nucleon states. In this case we obtain a qualitative agreement with experimental results for the value of axial charge
