[HTML][HTML] Spatial distribution of angular momentum inside the nucleon

C Lorcé, L Mantovani, B Pasquini - Physics Letters B, 2018 - Elsevier
We discuss in detail the spatial distribution of angular momentum inside the nucleon. We
show that the discrepancies between different definitions originate from terms that integrate …

Is gauge-invariant complete decomposition of the nucleon spin possible?

M Wakamatsu - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2014 - World Scientific
Is gauge-invariant complete decomposition of the nucleon spin possible? Although it is a

Glue spin and helicity in the proton from lattice QCD

YB Yang, RS Sufian, A Alexandru, T Draper… - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the glue spin in the nucleon. The lattice
calculation is carried out with valence overlap fermions on 2+ 1 flavor domain-wall fermion …

Quantum field theory for spin operator of the photon

LP Yang, F Khosravi, Z Jacob - Physical Review Research, 2022 - APS
