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.
