Abstract
Although the strangeness content of the nucleon is small, it has played a major role in provoking puzzles and controversies in our understanding of the internal structure of the nucleon, particularly as concerns the spin structure. We recall the role of the strange polarization in precipitating the “spin crisis in the parton model” and discuss our present knowledge of the shape and sign of δs(x).
Work done in collaboration with A.V. Sidorov, Bogoliubov Theoretical Laboratory, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna and D.B. Stamenov, Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia.
