Description

Investigations at CERN of the angular momenta of quarks within protons have thrown particle physicists into a turmoil over the problem of where the proton's spin comes from. There have been over a score of theoretical papers addressing this puzzle in 1988 with, as yet, no clear consensus. But forthcoming experiments in 1989 may at least add clarity to the furore.
