【 摘 要 】

Remarkable progress in the study of spin-dependent structure functions has been made since the discovery of the 'proton spin puzzle' in the late 1980's. Very active spin-physics programs have been pursued at many facilities including SLAC, CERN, HERA, JLab, and RHIC. In recent years, new experimental tools such as semi-inclusive polarized DIS, polarized proton-proton collision, and deeply exclusive reactions have been employed to address various aspects of the proton spin. In this paper, we present the plans at the Jefferson Lab to use the semi-inclusive DIS (SIDIS) reactions to measure various unpolarized and polarized nucleon parton distribution and fragmentation functions. In addition, the prospect of probing the flavor structure of the kaon fragmentation function is discussed.
