Nucleon Structure: Overview and Recent Results

The study of nucleon structure is one of the most intriguing quests in nuclear physics. How the fundamental properties of the nucleon such as mass and spin emerge from its constituents is central in our understanding of QCD. Significant experimental efforts and theoretical advancements have been made over decades revealing that the nucleons are a complex and dynamic system of quark and gluons. To fully describe the 3D structure of the nucleon, much attention has been focused towards the multi-dimensional imaging in momentum and position space from the one-dimensional distribution functions in recent years. In this talk, I will review the current understanding of the nucleon structure and highlight selected results from recent studies with particular focus to the programs at JLab and RHIC.
