Transverse momentum dependent parton distributions and azimuthal asymmetries in light-cone quark models

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-12-10 v1

Abstract

We review the information on the spin and orbital angular momentum structure of the nucleon encoded in the T-even transverse momentum dependent parton distributions within light-cone quark models. Model results for azimuthal spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive lepton-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering are discussed, showing a good agreement with available experimental data and providing predictions to be further tested by future CLAS, COMPASS and HERMES data.
