The microscopic dynamics of glass-forming materials, especially polymers, is a topic of strong current interest and often heated debate. In this review an overview of the most common dynamical phenomena in glass-forming polymers will be presented: alpha relaxation, beta relaxation, 'boson peak', and 'fast process' (beta(fast) relaxation). The experimental results presented will be mainly from inelastic and quasielastic neutron scattering. Several mostly unanswered questions arise from the experimental findings, e.g.: Is the alpha relaxation of heterogeneous or homogeneous origin? Is there any relation between the ubiquitous low-temperature vibrational properties of glasses and the alpha relaxation? Different theoretical and model approaches...
