Probing the Orbital Angular momentum through the Polarized Gluon Asymmetry
The orbital angular momentum is one of the least understood of the spin characteristics of a proton. There are no direct ways to model Lz. However, the Jz = 1 2 sum rule includes an angular momentum component and can provide indirect access to properties of Lz. One of the other unknowns in the sum rule is the gluon polarization, ∆G. We can define the gluon spin asymmetry in a proton as A(x,Q2) ...
متن کاملOptical orbital angular momentum.
We present a brief introduction to the orbital angular momentum of light, the subject of our theme issue and, in particular, to the developments in the 13 years following the founding paper by Allen et al. (Allen et al. 1992 Phys. Rev. A 45, 8185 (doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.45.8185)). The papers by our invited authors serve to bring the field up to date and suggest where developments may take us next...
متن کاملThe Gluon Spin Asymmetry as a Link to ∆g and Orbital Angular Momentum
The fundamental program in high energy spin physics focuses on the spin structure of the nucleon. The gluon and orbital angular momentum components of the nucleon spin are virtually unknown. The Jz = 1 2 sum rule involves the integrated parton densities and can be used to extract information on the orbital angular momentum and its evolution. To avoid any bias on a model of ∆G, we assume that th...
متن کاملPhoton Orbital Angular Momentum in Astrophysics
Astronomical observations of the orbital angular momentum of photons, a property of electromagnetic radiation that has come to the fore in recent years, have apparently never been attempted. Here, I show how measurements of this property of photons have a number of astrophysical applications. Subject headings: Instrumentation: Miscellaneous – Masers – ISM: General – Extraterrestrial Intelligenc...
متن کاملQuantum Formulation of Fractional Orbital Angular Momentum
The quantum theory of rotation angles (S. M. Barnett and D. T. Pegg, Phys. Rev. A, 41, 3427-3425 (1990)) is generalised to noninteger values of the orbital angular momentum. This requires the introduction of an additional parameter, the orientation of a phase discontinuity associated with fractional values of the orbital angular momentum. We apply our formalism to the propagation of light modes...
