In the era of searching for new discoveries, it is crucial to achieve a higher level of precision in understanding the proton structure to allow for most unambiguous interpretations of the high energy, luminous data ahead. The knowledge of proton´s constituents mainly comes from the deep inelastic scattering HERA, fixed target, Tevatron and, increasingly precise LHC data.
A guided tour of the road-map that marks the most recent measurements from past, present, and possible future experiments sensitive to the proton constituents will be presented here.
