Transverse momentum dependent distribution functions in a covariant parton model approach with quark orbital motion

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-02 v1

Abstract

Transverse parton momentum dependent distribution functions (TMDs) of the nucleon are studied in a covariant model, which describes the intrinsic motion of partons in terms of a covariant momentum distribution. The consistency of the approach is demonstrated, and model relations among TMDs are studied. As a byproduct it is shown how the approach allows to formulate the non-relativistic limit.
