Origin of hadron spin based on Lattice QCD study on the charmed hadrons

Abstract

We perform the first Lattice calculation about the charmed hadron spin decomposition using overlap fermions on a 2+1 flavor RBC/UKQCD domain-wall gauge configurations at 0.083 fm with 300 MeV pion mass. It is found that the contributions of quark spin to the spin of 1S, 1P charmonia and also proton-like triple heavy quark state are comparable with the expectation of non-relativistic quark model. Such an observation provides evidence that the non-triviality of proton spin decomposition mainly arises from the relativistic effects of the light quark. Conversely, the substantial gluon angular momentum contribution in the spin $(1/2{)}^{+}$ state with triple heavy quarks at the charm quark mass, remains significant, highlighting the ongoing importance of the gluon in the realm of charmed baryon physics.
