Spin-Orbit Dynamics from the Gluon Asymmetry

Abstract

Determination of the orbital angular momentum of the proton is a difficult but important part of understanding fundamental structure. Insight can be gained from suitable models of the gluon asymmetry applied to the Jz = 1/2 sum rule. We have constrained the models of the asymmetry to gain possible scenarios for the angular momentum of the proton's constituents. Results and phenomenology for determining Lz are presented.
