Proton Spin Structure from Measurable Parton Distributions

Ji, Xiangdong, Xiong, Xiaonu, Yuan, Feng

Understand

We present a systematic study of the proton spin structure in terms of measurable parton distributions.

  • For a transversely-polarizedproton, we derive a polarization sum rule from the leading generalized parton distributions appearing in hard exclusive processes.
  • For a longitudinally-polarized proton, we obtain a helicity decomposition from well-known quark and gluon helicity distributions and orbital angular-momentum contributions.
  • The latter is shown to be related to measurable subleading generalized parton distributions and quantum-phase space Wigner distributions.
