PERTURBATIVE QCD AND NUCLEON STRUCTURE FUNCTIONS.

Abstract

We review the basic aspects of the perturbative QCD based on the operator product expansion to analyze the nucleon structure functions in a pedagogical way. We explain the non-trivial relation between the QCD results and the parton model especially to understand the polarized nucleon structure functions which deserve much attentions in recent years.
