The spin content of the proton in quenched QCD

چکیده
We present preliminary results on the proton spin structure function at zero momentum, in the quenched approximation. Our calculation makes use of a nonper-turbative means of determining the multiplicative renormalization of the topological charge density.

Proton Spin Content From Lattice QCD
We calculate the form factor of the quark energy momentum tensor and thereby extract the quark orbital angular momentum of the nucleon. The calculation is done on a quenched 16 × 24 lattice at β = 6.0 and with Wilson fermions at κ = 0.148, 0.152, 0.154 and 0.155. We calculate the disconnected insertion stochastically which employs the Z2 noise with an unbiased subtraction. This proves to be an ...

Topology on the lattice is reviewed. In quenched QCD topological susceptibility χ is fully understood. The Witten-Veneziano mechanism for the η ′ mass is confirmed. The topological susceptibility drops to zero at the deconfining phase transition. Preliminary results are also presented for χ and χ ′ in full QCD, and for the spin content of the proton. The only problem there is the difficulty of ...

متن کاملGeneralized parton distributions from lattice QCD.
We perform a quenched lattice calculation of the first moment of twist-two generalized parton distribution functions of the proton, and assess the total quark (spin and orbital angular momentum) contribution to the spin of the proton.
متن کاملQuark 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...
