Abstract: Understanding how individual quarks and gluons contribute to the proton’s total spin 1/2 is one of the main topics in the study of the proton’s internal structure. At present, state-of-the-art global fittings still fall short of fully explaining proton’s
total spin, with one of the least understood contributions coming from quarks and gluons at small longitudinal momentum fraction x. In this talk, I will discuss recent theoretical advances toward understanding the proton’s spin structure at small x, particularly
on the development of small-x helicity evolution equations and on incorporating data from longitudinally polarized proton-proton collisions to constrain the initial conditions.</div>
