【 摘 要 】

After more than a decade of RHIC running as a polarized proton collider, we summarize recent achievements of the RHIC spin program and their impact on our understanding of the nucleon's spin structure, i.e. the individual parton (quarks and gluons) contributions to the helicity structure of the nucleon, and to understand the origin of the transverse spin phenomena. Open questions are identified and a suite of future measurements with polarized beams at RHIC to address them is laid out.
