Abstract
This contribution to CIPANP 2012 highlights what we have learned about the asymmetric parton distributions of the nucleon over the past 20 years. These distributions include the transverse momentum dependent parton distributions describing spin-orbit correlations, but also their generalized parton and Wigner distribution analogues. Besides quark distributions, also gluon distributions are discussed, in particular the distribution of linearly polarized gluons inside unpolarized nucleons and its applications, such as at LHC in Higgs production and at a future Electron-Ion Collider in heavy quark production.
