Quark spin and orbital angular momentum from proton generalized parton distributions

Journal Article Freese, Adam ; Cloët, Ian C. - Physical Review C

Here, we calculate the leading-twist helicity-dependent generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the proton at finite skewness in the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). From these (and previously calculated helicity-independent GPDs) we obtain the spin decomposition of the proton, including predictions for quark intrinsic spin and orbital angular momentum. The inclusion of multiple species of diquarks is found to have a significant effect on the flavor decomposition, and resolving the internal structure of these dynamical diquark correlations proves essential for the mechanical stability of the proton. At a scale of Q² = 4 GeV² we find that the upmore »« less

Generalized parton distributions and spin structures of light mesons from a light-front Hamiltonian approach

Journal Article Adhikari, Lekha ; Mondal, Chandan ; Nair, Sreeraj ; ... - Physical Review D

We present the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) for the valence quarks of the pion and the kaon in both momentum space and position space within the basis light-front quantization framework. These GPDs are obtained from the eigenvectors of a light-front effective Hamiltonian consisting of the holographic quantum chromodynamics (QCD) confinement potential, a complementary longitudinal confinement potential, and the color-singlet Nambu-Jona–Lasinio interactions for the valence quarks of mesons. We then calculate the generalized form factors of the pion and the kaon from the moments of these GPDs. Combining the tensor form factors with the electromagnetic form factors, we subsequently evaluate themore »« less

Determination of the parton distribution functions of the proton from ATLAS measurements of differential W^± and Z boson production in association with jets

Journal Article Aad, G. ; Abbott, B. ; Abbott, D. C. ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

This article presents a new set of proton parton distribution functions, AT-LASepWZVjet20, produced in an analysis at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD. The new data sets considered are the measurements of W ⁺ and W^- boson and Z boson production in association with jets in pp collisions atmore »« less

Orbital angular momentum, spin fractions, and scenarios for the proton's spin-weighted parton distributions

Journal Article Ramsey, G P ; Qui, J ; Richards, D ; ... - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

New data from the European Muon Collaboration (EMC) on the spin-spin asymmetry in deep-inelastic lepton-proton scattering suggests that the total spin carried by valence quarks in a polarized proton may be approximately canceled by a strong negative polarization of the sea of q-barq pairs. The evolution in Q/sup 2/ of the fraction of proton spin carried by gluons depends on the initial spin fractions and it is possible to avoid the introduction of large orbital angular momentum by adopting a ''hybrid'' quark-Skyrme picture of the proton suggested by the EMC results.
