%\section{\bf Brief Review of the Status of the Nucleon Spin Structure}
After more than 30 years of experimental and theoretical work, the study of the
nucleon spin structure has entered a mature stage, extending beyond the
exploration of the properties of the polarized structure functions in the scaling
regime into the region of the Bjorken scaling variable $x$
near its unity upper limit. Moreover, the experimental techniques have expanded
from the original simple approach of measuring
double spin asymmetries in inclusive deep
inelastic scattering - DIS~\cite{E80,E130,EMC,E142,E154,HERMESa}
% {\tt(note new HERMES longpaper)}
for parallel beam and target spins, or even for parallel and orthogonal
configurations~\cite{E143,SMC,E155D,E155,E155x}, to semi-inclusive measurements with
detection of a $\pi$ or $K$ meson in coincidence with the scattered
electron~\cite{hermessidis,smcsidis} and the investigation of the gluon
polarization~\cite{compassg,hermesg}. From the inclusive measurements in DIS it
has been established that the quarks carry only about 25\% of the nucleon spin,
and
from the inclusive and semi-inclusive measurements, the quark polarization by
flavor has been determined~\cite{hermessidis,clas,halla}.
The modern description of nucleon structure is done in terms of transverse
momentum dependent quark distributions functions~\cite{Mulders:1995dh} defined in
terms of quark-quark ($qq$) and quark-gluon-quark($qgq$) correlations in the
nucleon.
% of the Bjorkenscaling variable $x$ and
%the four-momentum transfer squared
%$Q^2=-q_\mu^2$.
%three of which are leading twist.
Two of the leading twist
distributions from $qq$ correlations translate,
after integration
%of the $q(x,k^2_T)$ distribution (also known as $f_1$)
over the transverse momentum $\vec k_\perp$,
into the more familiar
structure functions (SF) measured in DIS. The longitudinal momentum
distribution $q(x,k^2_T)$ (also
known as $f_1$) leads to the unpolarized SF $F_1(x,Q^2)$, which is a function of
the Bjorken scaling variable $x$ and the four-momentum transfer squared
$Q^2=-q_\mu^2$.
% after integration over $\vec k_\perp$ and t
The quark helicity distribution $\Delta q(x)$ (or $g_{1L}$) is related to the spin
SF $g_1(x,Q^2)$.
%; and transversity $\delta(x)$ (or $h_T$).
%The others involve both longitudinal and transverse components: $g_{1T}$;
%Collins $h_{1T}^\perp$; Sivers
%$f_{1T}^\perp$; $h_{1L}^\perp$; and $h_1^\perp$.
These distributions have quark flavor indices associated with them and the
nucleon structure functions are linear combinations of all active flavors,
weighted by their charges squared.
At subleading twist-3, there are two $k_T$-integrated distributions related to
$qq$ correlations, %that can be measured in DIS,
namely $g_{T}(x)$ and $h_{L}(x)$. In
addition, at the same twist-3 ${\cal O} (1/Q)$, three-particle $qgq$ correlations
lead to the corresponding distributions $\tilde g_{T}(x)$ and $\tilde h_{L}(x)$.
The transverse distribution $g_{T}(x)$ is of particular interest, because it can be
measured in inclusive double polarized DIS with target polarization transverse
to the beam helicity. In terms of the $k_T$ dependent distribution
$g_{1T}(x,k^2_T)$, %The distribution is especially interesting because after
%integrated over $k_T$ with a $k_T^2/2M^2$ weight,
%it is directly connected to the $g_2^q(x)$ distributionfunction
$g_T(x)$ is given by~\cite{Kotzinian:1995cz,Tangerman:1994bb}
\begin{eqnarray}
%g_2^q(x) = \frac{d}{dx}g^{q}_{1T}(x)\\
%g_{1T}(x) = \frac{1}{2}\sum_q e^2_q g^q_{1T}(x)
g_{T}(x) = \int d^2 k_T \frac{k_T^2}{2M^2}\frac{g_{1T}(x,k^2_T)}{x}
+ \frac{m}{M}\frac{h_1(x)}{x} + \tilde g_T(x),\nonumber\\
\end{eqnarray}
where the $h_1(x)$ term represents the contribution of the transversity
distribution (net transverse quark spin in a transversely polarized nucleon),
that is suppressed in DIS by the ratio of the quark to nucleon masses, $m/M$.
This expression highlights the importance of transverse quark momentum even in
inclusive measurements: $g_T$ would be negligibly different from the
$qgq$-correlations dependent $\tilde g_T$ without transverse momentum
%On the other hand, a non-zero value of $g_T$ must include
In fact, carrying out the integration of $g_{1T}$ expressed in terms of Lorentz
invariant amplitudes~\cite{Tangerman:1994bb} one can obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
\lefteqn{
g_{T}(x) = \int^1_x dy \frac{g_1(y)}{y}{}}\nonumber\\
& {}\!\!\! \displaystyle{+ \frac{m}{M}\Bigl[\frac{h_1(x)}{x} - \int^1_x dy \frac{h_1(y)}{y}\Bigr] + \tilde g_T(x) -\int^1_x dy \frac{\tilde g_T(y)}{y}} &.
\label{eq:gtb}
\end{eqnarray}
where the first term depends only on the twist-2 quark helicity distribution
$g_1$, which is definitely not zero.
The mixed twist (2 and 3) nature of $gT$ arises from the contribution of the
$\tilde g_T$ terms. As it would be expected, the same terms contribute to the
$g_2(x,Q^2)$ SF, which dominates the difference of cross sections in DIS
with polarized beams on a transversely polarized target
%For orthogonal spins %the difference is%
%$\cos\alpha = \sin\theta \cos\phi$, so both $G_1$ and $G_2$ contribute
\begin{eqnarray}
%\lefteqn{{{d^2\sigma^{\uparrow \rightarrow}} \over {d\Omega dE'}} -
%{{d^2\sigma^{\downarrow\rightarrow}}\over {d\Omega dE'}}
%\Delta\sigma = {{4 \alpha^2 E'} \over {Q^2 E}} % {}} \nonumber \\
%%& {}\!\!\! %~ {{4 \alpha^2 E'} \over {Q^2 E}}

\end{eqnarray}
This unique feature of transverse polarized scattering allows direct access to sub-leading,
twist-3 processes in a direct measurement~\cite{Jaffe:1989xx}.

%interactions as the separations between hadronic constituents increase at low energy.
In terms of the $g_1$ and $g_2$ SF's, $g_T$ can be written simply as
\begin{eqnarray}
g_T(x,Q^2) = g_1(x,Q^2) + g_2(x,Q^2)
\end{eqnarray}

\end{eqnarray}
corresponds to the first term of $g_T$ in eq. (\ref{eq:gtb}).
The structure of the nucleon can also be described in
terms of forward virtual Compton scattering.
% The SF's $F_1$, $g_1$ and $g_T$ % resulting from integrated over $\vec
% k_\perp$ can be investigated with inclusive measurements, all other
%distributions require semi-inclusive experiments.
%The mixed twist
%$g_T$ measures the polarization of quarks with spins
%perpendicular to the virtual photon spin. It is related to
The virtual Compton scattering spin asymmetry (SA) \at$(x,Q^2) =
\sigma_{LT}/\sigma_T$,
is formed from the longitudinal-transverse interference cross section
$\sigma_{LT}$ and the transverse cross section $\sigma_T$ for the scattering
of polarized electrons on polarized nucleons. In terms of \at, $g_T$ can be
expressed
as
\begin{equation}
g_T(x,Q^2) = \frac{E-E'}{\sqrt{ Q^2}} F_1(x,Q^2) A_2(x,Q^2)
\end{equation}
%, where $\nu = E - E^\prime$ represents the energy loss of a lepton with
%initial energy $E$.
$g_T$ can then be understood as being a measure of the polarization of quarks
with spins perpendicular to the virtual photon helicity.
%and $Q^2=-q_\mu^2$ is the four-momentum transfer squared.
$g_T$ can also be identified as the polarized partner of the unpolarized
longitudinal $F_L(x,Q^2) = 2 x F_1 R$, which has a similar form in terms of
$F_1$ and the ratio of the longitudinal to transverse virtual photon cross
sections $R = \sigma_L/\sigma_T$. $F_L$ is zero at leading twist but becomes
non-zero through higher twist effects resulting from non-zero parton transverse
momentum, which give rise to finite values of $\sigma_L$.
%although in DIS this contribution is suppressed by the ratio
%$m/M$\cite{artru,ralston,jaft}.
With the suppression of $h_1$ by the ratio $m/M$\cite{artru,ralston,jaft}.
the third moment of the interaction dependent part $\tilde gT$
can be related by the operator product expansion
(OPE) to the reduced twist-3 quark matrix element $d_2$
%, if the small twist-2 quark mass dependent term is neglected,
\begin{eqnarray}
\overline{g}_2 (x) = \tilde g_T(x) - \int^1_x dy \frac{\tilde g_T(y)}{y}\nonumber \\
\int_0^1 x^2 \overline{g}_2(x,Q^2)dx =\frac{1}{3} d_2(Q^2),
\label{eq:OPE}
\end{eqnarray}
which can be calculated in lattice QCD~\cite{goeckeler}.
However, it should be kept in mind that since $h_1$ is a leading twist
quantity (comparable in magnitude to \gl), even if the ratio
$m/M$
were of the order of $\sim 1\%$, $h_1$ could represent a significant contribution
to $\overline{g}_2$.
%, since the pure twist-3 piece $\xi$ might be considerably smaller than \gl.
Only a handful of measurements of $d_2$ exist to date, from
SLAC~\cite{E143,E155,E155x}, and from $RSS$~\cite{Slifer:2008xu} at Jefferson Lab. The SLAC
measurements have been combined into
a single number for the proton $d_2(Q^2 = 5~ {\rm GeV}^2) = 0.0032 \pm 0.0017$. The
lattice QCD result at the same $Q^2$ is $d_2 = 0.004\pm0.005$. The
$RSS$ proton result
covers a wide range of $x$ from 0.29 to 0.84, corresponding to the region of
the resonances from $W$ = 1.91 GeV to the pion production threshold. Using Nachtmann moments, which are required to correct for the target recoil at low $Q^2$, the $RSS$ result including the elastic contribution is
$d_2(Q^2 = 1.3~ {\rm GeV}^2) = 0.0104\pm 0.0014$ (total error).
In addition to lattice QCD, QCD sum
rules~\cite{stein,balit,ehre}, bag~\cite{strat} and chiral quark
models~\cite{soliton,waka} can
also be tested by comparing their predictions to the measured moments of \gt.
Moreover, \gt\ gives access to the polarizabilities of the color
fields~\cite{Ji:1995qe} (with
additional knowledge of the twist-4 matrix element $f_2$). The
magnetic and electric polarizabilities are $\chi_B = (4d_2 + f_2)/3$ and
$\chi_E = (2d_2 -f_2)/2$, respectively. Knowledge of these properties
of the color fields is an important step in understanding QCD.
The twist-4 $f_2$ matrix element represents quark-quark
interactions, and reflects the higher twist corrections to the
individual proton and neutron moments of \gl \ and in consequence, to the
Bjorken sum rule~\cite{phil}
\begin{equation}
\int_0^1 g_1(x,Q^2)dx =\frac{1}{2} a_0 + \frac{M^2}{9Q^2}\bigl(a_2 + 4d_2 +
4f_2\bigr) + O \Bigl(\frac{M^4}{Q^4}\Bigr).
\label{eq:twist}
\end{equation}
These matrix elements are related to the higher moments of the SSF's, which
have a strong dependence on the high $x$ contributions.
From an experimental point of view, the measurement of \at \ is simpler than
that of the absolute cross section difference for scattering of longitudinally
polarized electrons on transversely polarized nucleons, which is required to
access \gt \ directly. Therefore, it is easier
to measure the parallel \apar \ and perpendicular \aper \ asymmetries which
are related to the spin asymmetries \al \ and \at \
by \begin{eqnarray}
\nonumber A_1 =&
\displaystyle{\frac{1}{(E+E^\prime)D^\prime}\Bigl((E-E^\prime\cos\theta)
A_\parallel - \frac{E^\prime \sin\theta} {\cos\phi}A_\perp\Bigr)}\\
A_2 =& \displaystyle{\frac{\sqrt{Q^2}}{2ED^\prime}\Bigl(A_\parallel +
\frac{E-E^\prime\cos\theta} {E^\prime\sin\theta\cos\phi}A_\perp\Bigr)}
\label{eq:ntup}
\end{eqnarray}
where all quantities ( $\theta$ and $\phi$ are the scattered lepton's polar
and azimuthal angles, respectively) are measured in the same experiment,
with the exception
of the small contribution from the unpolarized structure function $R(Q^2,W) =
\sigma_L/\sigma_T$ to the virtual photon depolarization
$\displaystyle{D^\prime= (1-\varepsilon)/(1+\varepsilon R)}$. Here
$\varepsilon = 1/(1+2(1+\nu^2/Q^2)\tan^2(\theta/2))$ is the well
known longitudinal polarization of the virtual photon. These expressions are
suitably modified for the case when the beam and target spins aren't exactly
perpendicular.
