Proton spin structure and quark-parton model
نویسنده
چکیده
The alternative to the standard formulation of the quark-parton model is proposed. Our approach is based on the solution of the master equations relating the structure and distribution functions, which consistently takes into account the intrinsic quark motion in contradistinction to the standard infinite momentum approach, in which this motion is latently suppressed. The model well reproduces the experimental data on the both polarized and unpolarized structure functions, assuming that only the valence quarks term contributes to the nucleon spin. It is shown, the combined analysis of the polarized and unpolarized data can give an information about the effective masses and intrinsic motion of the quarks inside the nucleon. Simultaneously, it is shown that the rate of the nucleon energy carried by the quarks can be less, than estimated from the standard approach. As an addition, a prediction for the proton spin function g2 is given.

The spin structure of the proton
It is shown that the proton " spin crisis " or " spin puzzle " can be understood by the relativistic effect of quark transversal motions due to the Melosh-Wigner rotation. The quark helicity ∆q measured in polarized deep inelastic scattering is actually the quark spin in the infinite momentum frame or in the light-cone formalism, and it is different from the quark spin in the nucleon rest frame...
متن کاملProton spin structure from measurable parton distributions.
We present a systematic study of the proton spin structure in terms of measurable parton distributions. For a transversely polarized proton, we derive a polarization sum rule from the leading generalized parton distributions appearing in hard exclusive processes. For a longitudinally polarized proton, we obtain a helicity decomposition from well-known quark and gluon helicity distributions and ...
متن کاملGluon topology and the spin structure of the constituent quark
has inspired much theoretical and experimental effort to understand the internal spin structure of the nucleon [ 1]. A key issue [ 2] is the role of the axial anomaly in the transition from parton to constituent quark degrees of freedom in low energy QCD. In this paper I explain why some fraction of proton’s spin may be carried by gluon topology. The topological contribution has support only at...
متن کاملThe Spin Structure of Nucleons and Deep Inelastic Scatterings
Based on a simple model which is compatible with the idea of the static quark model and the parton model, the polarized structure functions of proton and deuteron, two-spin asymmetries of π in polarized pp reactions and inelastic J/ψ productions in polarized lepton-proton collisions are analyzed. In particular, an important role of polarized gluon distributions is pointed out.
متن کاملProton spin structure in the rest frame
It is shown that the quark-parton model in the standard infinite momentum approach overestimates the proton spin structure function g1(x) in comparison with the approach taking consistently into account the internal motion of quarks described by a spherical phase space in the proton rest frame. Particularly, it is shown the first moment of the spin structure function in the latter approach, ass...
