Spin structure of the nucleon on the light front

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-22 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We briefly review the spin structure of the nucleon and show that it is best thought in the light-front formulation. We discuss in particular the longitudinal and transverse spin sum rules, the proper definition of canonical orbital angular momentum and the spin-orbit correlation.
