Nucleon-Quarkonium Elastic Scattering and the Gluon Contribution to Nucleon Spin

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the amplitude for the scattering of a heavy quarkonium system from a nucleon near threshold is completely determined by the fraction of angular momentum, as well as linear momentum, carried by gluons in the nucleon. A form for the quarkonium-nucleon non-relativistic potential is derived.
