Description

BNL-RHIC is expected to open a window to the novel spin structure functions of the nucleon: chiral-odd parton distributions h1(x,Q2) and hL(x,Q2). After reviewing their QCD definitions, I will summarize the main feature of the recent two results in perturbative QCD: (i) Next-to-leading order Q2 evolution of h1(x,Q2). (ii) Leading order Q2 evolution of the twist-3 distribution hL(x,Q2) and the universal simplification of the Q2 evolution of all the twist-3 distributions in the large Nc limit. (author)
