Description
A new global QCD analysis of spin-dependent PDFs has been performed
by the JAM (Jefferson Lab Angular Momentum) Collaboration, including
all available data on inclusive spin structure functions from CERN,
SLAC, DESY and JLab. In particular, we explore the impact of recent
high-precision JLab data at high x and low *Q*^2 on the determination
of large-*x* PDFs and the extraction of higher twist matrix elements.
Preliminary results for a global fit including also jet and pion
production data from *pp* scattering at RHIC are also presented.
