Chapter 8 Angular Momentum , Part II

چکیده
In the Chapter 7, we discussed situations where the direction of the vector L remains constant, and only its magnitude changes. In this chapter, we will look at the more complicated situations where the direction of L is allowed to change. The vector nature of L will prove to be vital, and we will arrive at all sorts of strange results for spinning tops and such things. This chapter is rather long, alas. The first three sections consist of general theory, and then in Section 8.4 we start solving some actual problems.

متن کاملOn the natures of the spin and orbital parts of optical angular momentum
The modern field of optical angular momentum began with the realisation by Allen et al in 1992 that, in addition to the spin associated with polarisation, light beams with helical phase fronts carry orbital angular momentum. There has been much confusion and debate, however, surrounding the intricacies of the field and, in particular, the separation of the angular momentum into its spin and orb...
متن کاملSmoothed dissipative particle dynamics - a mesoscopic particle-based hydrodynamic technique for complex fluids
Smoothed dissipative particle dynamics (SDPD) combines two popular mesoscopic techniques, the smoothed particle hydrodynamics and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) methods, and can be considered as an improved DPD approach. Advantages of the SDPD method over conventional DPD include the possibility of using an arbitrary equation of state, direct input of transport properties, and a well-defin...
متن کاملExclusive meson production at COMPASS
In this paper we summarize recent measurements of exclusive meson production performed by the COMPASS Collaboration. In particular, recent results on the transverse target spin asymmetries for exclusive ρ0 production are presented. Some of these asymmetries are sensitive to the GPDs E, which are related to the orbital angular momentum of quarks. Other asymmetries are sensitive to the chiral-odd...
متن کامل/ 98 07 23 9 v 1 3 J ul 1 99 8 Orbital angular momentum in the nucleon spin
Currently it is not known how to experimentally measure the contribution of the orbital angular momentum of the quarks to the total spin of the nu-cleon. By examining the quark orbital angular momentum we find that it does not satisfy the standard angular momentum commutation relationships. Thus aside from the experimental difficulty in measuring the quark angular momentum, this indicates that ...
