Lorentz Symmetry and the Internal Structure of the Nucleon

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

To investigate the internal structure of the nucleon, it is useful to introduce quantities that do not transform properly under Lorentz symmetry, such as the four-momentum of the quarks in the nucleon, the amount of the nucleon spin contributed by quark spin, etc. In this paper, we discuss to what extent these quantities do provide Lorentz-invariant descriptions of the nucleon structure.
