The spin content of the proton

چکیده

Considerable progress has been made in our knowledge of the spin distribution within the proton. The recently measured limits on polarized gluons in the proton suggest polarized gluons contribute very modestly to the proton spin. We will show that a modern, relativistic and chirally symmetric description of the nucleon structure naturally explain the current proton spin data. Most of the “missing" spin is carried by confined quark and antiquarks’ angular momentum.

NONDYNAMICAL ANALYSIS OF SPIN AMPLITUDES IN PION-PROTON ELASTIC SCATTERING IN OPTIMAL FORMALISM AT 6.0 GeV/C

Optimal conditions are used in nondynamical formalism to diagonalize the pionproton reaction matrix as much as possible. Invariance laws are imposed to simplify the relationship between observables and bilinear combination of amplitudes. Transverse amplitudes are determined by using measured polarization parameter in xfp elastic scattering at 6.0 GeVIC

HELICITY AND PLANAR AMPLITUDES IN PION-PROTON SCATTERING AT 6.0 GeV/c

In addition to optimal conditions, invariant laws of Lorentz, parity and time reversal are imposed to find the relation between observables (spin rotation parameters) and bilinear combination of helicity amplitudes in pion-proton elastic scattering at 6.0 GeV/c. By normalizing the differential cross-section to unity, the magnitudes of helicity amplitudes and the angle between them are dete...

محاسبه سطح مقطع پراکندگی تفکیک پروتون- دوترون در انرژی‌های میانی

In this paper, we reformulate three-nucleon breakup scattering in leading order approximation by considering spin-isospin degrees of freedom. At first, considering the inhomogeneous part of Faddeev equation, which is a valid approximation in high and intermediate energles, we present the Faddeev equation as a function of vector Jacobi momenta and spin and isospin quantum numbers. In this new fo...

The spin structure of the proton in a non–relativistic quark model

The spin structure of the proton is investigated in the framework of an extended quark potential model which in addition to the conventional 3q– structure also takes into account (3q)(qq̄)–admixtures in the proton wave function. For reasons of parity such admixtures contain an odd orbital angular momentum thus allowing the proton spin to be shared among quark spins and orbital angular momenta. W...

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...
