Abstract

We compute the gluon polarization ΔG\Delta G and the gluon total angular momentum JgJ_g in the Isgur-Karl quark model. Taking into account self-interaction contributions, we obtain for both quantities a positive value of about 0.24 at the model scale μ020.25\mu_0^2 \simeq 0.25 GeV2^2. This estimate is reasonably close to the expectation from polarized deep inelastic scattering analyses.
