| Abstract: | There is a long list of open questions and to answer, but a simple one
is "What is particle spin good for?". I will start by giving a few
examples of unexpected intringing observations. Many questions refer
to the nucleon spin puzzle, for example, its quark flavor
decomposition or the gluon contribution and the orbital angular
momentum contribution to the nucleon spin. One must also ask how
important is the quark transversity? I will discuss the effects of
non-zero intrinsic transverse momentum, which remain to be clarified
in connection with the interpretation of large single transverse spin
asymmetries.
