چکیده

The same light-front wave functions of the proton are involved in both the anomalous magnetic moment of the nucleon and the Sivers function. Using the diquark model, we derive a simple relation between the anomalous magnetic moment and the Sivers function, which should hold in general with good approximation. This relation can be used to provide constraints on the Sivers single spin asymmetries from the data on anomalous magnetic moments. Moreover, the relation can be viewed as a direct connection between the quark orbital angular momentum and the Sivers function.

Sivers Asymmetry and Generalized Parton Distributions in Impact Parameter Space

Recently, it has been pointed out that there exists a connection between the generalized parton distribution E(x, 0, t) and the Sivers asymmetry. For transversely polarized nucleon targets, generalized parton distributions are asymmetric in impact parameter space. This impact parameter space asymmetry, together with the final state interaction of the active quark, gives rise to the Sivers asymm...

Anomalous Magnetic Moments and Quark Orbital Angular Momentum

Detailed measurements of the spin structure of the nucleon [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11] have revealed that only a small fraction of the nucleon spin is carried by the quark spin. This result immediately raised the question, which degrees of freedom carry the rest. Unfortunately, both orbital angular momentum and the gluon spin are difficult to access experimentally, and therefore little ...

Non-Relativistic Limit of Neutron Beta-Decay Cross-Section in the Presence of Strong Magnetic Field

One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...

Constraining quark angular momentum through semi-inclusive measurements.

The determination of quark angular momentum requires the knowledge of the generalized parton distribution E in the forward limit. We assume a connection between this function and the Sivers transverse-momentum distribution, based on model calculations and theoretical considerations. Using this assumption, we show that it is possible to fit nucleon magnetic moments and semi-inclusive single-spin...

Transverse single spin asymmetries in photon production

Transverse single-spin asymmetries (SSA) in inclusive reactions are now considered to be directly related to the transverse momentum kT of the fundamental partons involved in the process. We find that the ideal probe to extract information on the gluon Sivers function is the transverse SSA of prompt photon production pp → γX, at large pT . The following related processes, pp → γ + jet + X, pp →...
