Momentum-Current Gravitational Multipoles of Hadrons
Abstract
We study multipole expansion of the momentum currents in hadrons, with three series , , and , in connection with the gravitational fields generated nearby. The momentum currents are related to their energy-momentum form factors, which in principle can be probed through processes like deeply-virtual Compton scattering currently studied at JLab 12 GeV facility and future Electron Ion Collider. We define the leading momentum-current multipoles, tensor monopole () and scalar quadrupole () moments, relating the former to the so-called -term in the literature. We calculate the momentum current distribution in hydrogen atom and its monopole moment in the basic unit of , showing that the sign of -term has little to do with mechanical stability. The momentum current distribution also strongly modifies the static gravitational field inside hadrons.
