On the Origin of Model Relations among Transverse-Momentum Dependent Parton Distributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-09-13 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) are studied in the framework of quark models. In particular, quark-model relations among TMDs are reviewed, elucidating their physical origin in terms of the quark-spin structure in the nucleon. The formal aspects of the derivation of these relations are complemented with explicit examples, emphasizing how and to which extent the conditions which lead to relations among TMDs are implemented in different classes of quark models.
