Description

Novel improvements to small-$x$ helicity evolution equations have been incorporated into a global analysis of both DIS and SIDIS cross sections. This global analysis uncovered a bimodality of solutions for the asymptotic ($x \to 0 $) sign of the $g_1$ structure function of the proton, and a novel correlation it has with the quark and gluon helicity parton distribution functions (hPDFs), $\Delta\Sigma$ and $\Delta G$. In this poster I will discuss the disambiguation of this bimodality, and some potential avenues we can take to resolve this degeneracy in the future.
