2 00 3 The “ proton spin crisis ” - a quantum query

نویسنده

  • Johan Hansson
چکیده

The “proton spin crisis” was introduced in the late 1980s, when the EMC-experiment revealed that little or nothing of a proton’s spin seemed to be carried by its quarks. The main objective of this paper is to point out that it is wrong to assume that the proton spin, measured by completely different experimental setups, should be the same in all

We summarize three alternative extensions of the quark-valence picture of nucleon strangeness and spin, including (1) gluon spin in QCD, (2) Bjorken sum rule and QCD, (3) D–E meson mixing and tadpole leakage. All three approaches suggest that ∼ 40% of the nucleon’s spin (as well as its momentum) resides with quarks, but that less than 6% is due to strange quarks.

Quantum Statistical Parton Distributions and the Spin Crisis

Quantum statistical distributions for the partons provide a fair description of deep inelastic scattering data at Q2 = 3 and 10 (GeV/c)2. The study of the polarized structure functions seems to suggest an alternative possible solution of the spin crisis based on the Pauli principle. In this scheme, in fact, the defects of the Gottfried sum rule and Ellis–Jaffe sum rule for proton, result strong...

The spin structure of the proton

It is shown that the proton " spin crisis " or " spin puzzle " can be understood by the relativistic effect of quark transversal motions due to the Melosh-Wigner rotation. The quark helicity ∆q measured in polarized deep inelastic scattering is actually the quark spin in the infinite momentum frame or in the light-cone formalism, and it is different from the quark spin in the nucleon rest frame...
