Abstract

I present a pedagogical review of the decomposition of the proton spin. Both the Jaffe-Manohar and Ji decompositions are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the quark and gluon orbital angular momenta, including their gauge invariant definitions, small-x behavior and connection to experimental observables.
