Transverse spin sum rule of the proton
arXiv:2008.04349 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2020.135786
Abstract
The transversely-polarized state of a proton with arbitrary momentum is not an eigenstate of transverse angular momentum operator. The latter does not commute with the QCD Hamiltonian. However, the expectation value of the transverse angular momentum in the state is well-defined and grows proportionally to the energy of the particle. The transverse spin content of the proton is analyzed in terms of the QCD angular momentum structure. In particular, we reconfirm that the generalized parton distributions provide transverse orbital angular momentum densities of quarks and gluons in the infinite momentum frame.
