Description
Recently, the exploration of the partonic composition of protons and neutrons has entered a new phase, with the study of the three-dimensional momentum and space structure. New theoretical concepts like the Transverse Momentum Dependent and the Generalized Partonic Distributions (TMDs and GPDs) help to describe, respectively, the momentum and space distributions of partons inside nucleons. Several dedicated experiments are running, being built or planned. A review of the latest progress, with special emphasis on the TMDs, is presented.
