Transverse energy-momentum tensor distributions in polarized nucleons

arXiv:2604.07616 · doi:10.1103/l7qb-49nz

Abstract

We complete our study of the relativistic spatial distributions of the energy-momentum tensor inside polarized nucleons within the quantum phase-space formalism. In the present work, we focus on the components of the energy-momentum tensor involving at least one transverse index. We also explore the multipole structure of the transverse distributions in a moving nucleon. In the infinite-momentum frame, we show that the formalism reproduces the standard light-front distributions, including those with a ``bad'' component, and explains the origin of their structure.
