Abstract
- A survey is presented on the current status of 3D nucleon tomography. Several research frontiers are addressed that dominate modern physics from theory to current and future experiments. We have now a much more detailed spatial image of the nucleon thanks to various theoretical concepts and methods to describe its charge distribution and spin decomposition which are highlighted here. The progress of lattice computations of these quantities is reported and the prospects of what we can come to expect in the near future are discussed. Multi-dimensional maps of the nucleon's partonic structure appear now within reach of forthcoming experiments.<br />Comment: Based on the Plenary Round Table at XII Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum, 29 August - 3 September, 2016, Thessaloniki, Greece, 32 pages, 1 Table 17 Figures (embedded as pdf). arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1208.1244
