How Much of the Nucleon Spin is Carried by Glue?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v2

Abstract

We estimate in the QCD sum rule approach the amount of the nucleon spin carried by the gluon angular momentum: the sum of the gluon spin and orbital angular momenta. The result indicates that gluons contribute at least one half of the nucleon spin at scale of 1 GeV^2.
