We study the connection between the quark orbital angular momentum and the pretzelosity transverse-momentum dependent parton distribution function. We discuss the origin of this relation in quark models, identifying as key ingredient for…
We analyse the baryon magnetic moments in a model that relates them to the parton spins $\Delta u$, $\Delta d$, $\Delta s$, and includes a contribution from orbital angular momentum. The specific assumption is the existence of a 3-quark…

The relatively small fraction of the spin of the proton carried by its quarks presents a major challenge to our understanding of the strong interaction. Traditional efforts to explore this problem have involved new and imaginative…
Momentum sum rule can be used as an inequality to estimate the lower and upper bounds of the momentum fractions of quarks and gluons in a model of proton valid in a limited \textit{x} range. We compute such bounds in a self-similarity based…
