Polarized parton distribution functions Summary Strangeness and Spin in Fundamental Physics is dedicated to the discussion of the role played by two subtle and somehow puzzling quantum numbers, the strangeness and the spin, in fundamental physics. They both relate to basic properties of the fundamental quantum field theories describing strong and electro-weak interactions and to their phenomenological applications. In some instances, like the partonic spin structure of the proton, they are deeply correlated. The many puzzling results recently obtained by measuring several spin asymmetries have stimulated gigantic progresses in the study of t Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Print version record Subject Strange particles -- Congresses Rotational motion -- Congresses Nuclear spin -- Congresses SCIENCE -- Mechanics -- General.
