Study of spin-spin correlations between quark and a spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particle

Abstract

We study the correlation between the fermion composite system and quark spins by using the light-cone quark-diquark model. We do the calculations for $u$-quark and $d$-quark in the fermion system by considering the different polarization configrations of both. The contribution from scalar and axial-vector diquarks is taken into account. The overlap represenation of light-front wavefunctions is used for the calculations. The spin-spin correlations for $u$ and $d$ quarks are presented in transverse impact-parameter plane and transverse momentum plane as well.
