Recent progress in physics with polarized hadrons is described with the emphasis on the spin structure of the nucleon. The nucleon spin problem, which was discovered by EMC in 1988, is now being studied in various experiments. Flavor separation of the quark helicity distributions has been made. Recent observations of asymmetries in deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) and exclusive meson productions provide possibilities to access the total angluar momentum carried by quarks in the framework of generalized parton distributions. Single spin azimuthal asymmetries observed in semi-inclusive measurements provide a new handle to determine the transverse quark distributions which are basic but have never been measured so far.

AbstractPositron initiated deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) off $$^4$$ 4 He and $$^3$$ 3 He nuclei is described. The way the so-called $$d-$$ d - term could be obtained from the real part of the relevant Compton form factor is summarized, and the importance and novelty of this measurement is discussed. The measurements addressed for $$^3$$ 3 He targets could be very useful even in a standard unpolarized target setup, measuring beam spin and beam charge asymmetries only. The unpolarized beam charge asymmetries for DVCS off $$^3$$ 3 He and $$^4$$ 4 He are also estimated, at JLab kinematics and, for $$^4$$ 4 He, also at a configuration typical at the future Electron–Ion Collider. Incoherent DVCS processes, in particular the ones with tagging the internal target by measuring slow recoiling nuclei, and the unique possibility offered by positron beams for the investigation of Compton form factors of higher twist, are also briefly addressed.
