Title: "The Structure of the Nucleon"

Abstract:
"In this colloquium talk I will present general ideas and basic concepts of how the substructure of the nucleon can be accessed both from the theoretical side and from the experimental side. A substructure of nucleons implies that nucleons are composite particles that consist of more elementary particles, the so-called partons. The modern theory of the strong nuclear force, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), identifies these partons as quarks and gluons. Within QCD the structure of the nucleon in terms of quarks and gluons is encoded in so-called parton distribution functions. In my talk I will discuss various types of parton distribution functions and how they can be extracted from experimental data. Of particular interest are parton distribution functions that depend on the transverse momentum of quarks and gluons in a fast moving nucleon as they provide a 3-dimesional picture of the nucleon structure."
