The transverse momentum dependent statistical parton distributions revisited

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-15 v1

Abstract

The extension of the statistical parton distributions to include their transverse momentum dependence (TMD) is revisited by considering that the proton target has a finite longitudinal momentum. The TMD will be generated by means of a transverse energy sum rule. The new results are mainly relevant for electron-proton inelastic collisions in the low Q2Q^2 region. We take into account the effects of the Melosh-Wigner rotation for the helicity distributions.
