Abstract
The proton spin crisis still remains an unsolved problem in particle physics. It is suggested in the literature that the gauge invariant spin and orbital angular momentum of the quark and the gauge invariant total angular momentum of the gluon contribute to the proton spin. However, in this paper we find a new contribution to the proton spin. This new contribution is due to the boundary surface term in the total angular momentum conservation equation in QCD which is non-zero due to the confinement of the quarks and gluons inside the finite size proton. We derive the non-perturbative formula of this new contribution to the proton spin which can be calculated by using the lattice QCD method.
