Angular momentum on a lattice

Quark Orbital Angular Momentum from Lattice QCD

employs the Z2 noise with an unbiased subtraction. This reduced the error by a factor of 4 with negligible overhead. The total quark contribution to the proton spin is found to be 0.30±0.07. From this and the quark spin content we deduce the quark orbital angular momentum to be 0.17 ± 0.06 which is ∼ 34% of the proton spin. We further predict that the gluon angular momentum to be 0.20 ± 0.07, i...

Angular Momentum on the Lattice: The Case of Non-Zero Linear Momentum

The irreducible representations (IRs) of the double cover of the Euclidean group with parity in three dimensions are subduced to the corresponding cubic space group. The reduction of these representations gives the mapping of continuum angular momentum states to the lattice in the case of non-zero linear momentum. The continuous states correspond to lattice states with the same momentum and con...

Qed on a Momentum Lattice *

We investigate the possibility of doing momentum space lattice simulations as an alternative to the conventional method. The procedure is introduced and tested for quenched QED2 and quenched QED3. Interesting physical applications to unquenched QED3 and quenched QED4 are also briefly discussed.

Angular Momentum in Chemistry

Noting that current chemical theory is based almost exclusively on electronic energy and spin variables the equal importance of orbital angular momentum is explored in this paper. From its classical definition the angular momentum of electrons in an atom is shown to obey Laplace’s equation, which automatically leads to discrete values in terms of spherical harmonics. This analysis assumes a con...
