Quark Orbital Angular Momentum

In this talk, I review the merit of introducing and measuring the quark orbital angular momentum contribution to the spin of the nucleon in the context of quantum chromodynamics.

Partition Factor

Analytical and numerical results, for the orbital and spin content carried by different quark flavors in the baryons, are given in the chiral quark model with symmetry breaking. The reduction of the quark spin, due to the spin dilution in the chiral splitting processes, is transferred into the orbital motion of quarks and antiquarks. The orbital angular momentum for each quark flavor in the proton as a function of the partition factor κ and the chiral splitting probability a is shown. The cancellation between the spin and orbital contributions in the spin sum rule and in the baryon magnetic moments is discussed.

Spin Crisis

The origin of the spin of the proton is one of the most fundamental questions in modern hadron physics. Although tremendous progress has been made since the discovery of the "spin crisis" brought the issue to the fore, much remains to be understood. We carefully review what is known and, especially in the case of lattice QCD, what is not known. We also explain the importance of QCD inspired models in providing a physical picture of proton structure and the connection between those models and what is measured experimentally and on the lattice. We specifically apply these ideas to the issue of quark orbital angular momentum in the proton. We show that the Myhrer–Thomas resolution of the proton spin crisis is remarkably consistent with modern information from lattice QCD.
