摘要:

夸克携带的质子自旋相对较小,这对我们理解强相互作用提出了重大挑战。探索这个问题的传统努力涉及新的和富有想象力的实验和基于QCD的核子研究。我们利用格点量子色动力学的最新进展提出了一种新的解决方法。特别是,我们提取值的夸克在重子八重态的其他成员进行的自旋,以查看是否观察到的质子的抑制是一个一般的属性或显着依赖于重子结构。我们比较这些结果与自旋分数计算的模型,其中包括禁闭的影响,相对论,胶子交换电流和介子云所需的手征对称性内的值,找到一个非常令人满意的水平,目前可达到的精度的协议。

英文摘要:

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 experiments and QCD based studies of the nucleon. We propose a new approach to the problem which exploits recent advances in lattice QCD. In particular, we extract values for the spin carried by the quarks in other members of the baryon octet in order to see whether the suppression observed for the proton is a general property or depends significantly on the baryon structure. We compare these results with the values for the spin fractions calculated within a model that includes the effects of confinement, relativity, gluon exchange currents and the meson cloud required by chiral symmetry, finding a very satisfactory level of agreement given the precision currently attainable.
