Spin structure of the nucleon on the light front
arXiv:1409.6228 · doi:10.1007/s00601-015-0957-0
Abstract
We briefly review the spin structure of the nucleon and show that it is best thought in the light-front formulation. We discuss in particular the longitudinal and transverse spin sum rules, the proper definition of canonical orbital angular momentum and the spin-orbit correlation.
