The Parton Orbital Angular Momentum: Status and Prospects

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-07-20 v1 High Energy Physics - Lattice Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Theoretical progress on the formulation and classification of the quark and gluon orbital angular momenta (OAM) is reviewed. Their relation to parton distributions and open questions and puzzles are discussed. We give a status report on the lattice calculation of the parton kinetic and canonical OAM and point out several strategies to calculate the quark and gluon canonical OAM on the lattice.
