| Title | Review of $\Delta G$ programs in DIS and pp |
| Topic | Oral |
| Abstract of 200 words or less The polarized gluon distribution function $\Delta g$ is presently studied at various deep inelastic scattering and pp experiments. The goal is to eventually determine the contribution of the gluon spins $\Delta G$ to the overall spin-1/2 of the proton, given that the quark spins are known to only contribute at the level of 30%. A review of the present status and prospects will be given. |
