Abstract

This report highlights results obtained with the HERMES experiment during the last 5 years on the spin structure of the nucleon. The inclusive spin-structure function g1(x,Q2) is described, followed by measurements of the flavor-separated quark polarizations based on semi-inclusive data. Next, first measurements are presented that indicate that both the gluon polarization and the transversity distribution h1(x) are non-zero. Finally, the subject of parton-parton correlations is introduced, along with new data related to higher twist effects and generalized parton distributions.
