Small- and large-x nucleon spin structure from a global QCD analysis of polarized parton distribution functions

I investigate the behavior of spin-dependent parton distribution functions in the regions of small and large momentum fractions x. I present a systematic comparison between predictions for relevant observables obtained with various models of nucleon spin structure and a recent global analysis of spi...
