Mechanical properties of proton in the momentum space

Abstract
We study the parametrization of the energy-momentum tensor for the case of a proton in momentum space in terms of gravitational transverse momentum-dependent distributions (TMDs). These gravitational TMDs are investigated with the inclusion of higher-twist contributions to predict the mechanical properties, specifically the transverse pressure and shear force distributions, along with the polarization-dependent and terms. The corresponding distributions are computed individually for both and quark flavors. The calculations have been performed in the light-cone framework using the spectator diquark model. A strong binding contribution to the transverse pressure is observed in the low-momentum space for both quark flavors of the proton.
