  • Asymptotic Freedom, Quark Confinement, Proton Spin Crisis, Neutron Structure, Dark Matters, and Relative Force Strengths
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 17 February 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202102.0395.v1 Asymptotic freedom, quark confinement, proton spin crisis, neutron structure, dark matters, and relative force strengths Jae-Kwang Hwang JJJ Physics Laboratory, Brentwood, TN 37027 USA Abstract: The relative force strengths of the Coulomb forces, gravitational forces, dark matter forces, weak forces and strong forces are compared for the dark matters, leptons, quarks, and normal matters (p and n baryons) in terms of the 3-D quantized space model. The quark confinement and asymptotic freedom are explained by the CC merging to the A(CC=-5)3 state. The proton with the (EC,LC,CC) charge configuration of p(1,0,-5) is p(1,0) + A(CC=-5)3. The A(CC=-5)3 state has the 99.6% of the proton mass. The three quarks in p(1,0,-5) are asymptotically free in the EC and LC space of p(1,0) and are strongly confined in the CC space of A(CC=-5)3. This means that the lepton beams in the deep inelastic scattering interact with three quarks in p(1,0) by the EC interaction and weak interaction. Then, the observed spin is the partial spin of p(1,0) which is 32.6 % of the total spin (1/2) of the proton. The A(CC=-5)3 state has the 67.4 % of the proton spin. This explains the proton spin crisis. The EC charge distribution of the proton is the same to the EC charge distribution of p(1,0) which indicates that three quarks in p(1,0) are mostly near the proton surface.

This proceeding discusses recent achievements in lattice QCD calculations of the longitudinal and transverse spin structure of the nucleon. Starting from the latest lattice results on moments of generalized parton distributions, we focus on the decomposition of the proton spin 1=2 in terms of quark (and gluon) spin and orbital angular momentum contributions. Recent results on the transverse nucleon spin structure obtained from lattice studies of transverse momentum distributions will be discussed and illustrated in the form of spin densities of quarks in the proton. We compare the results with expectations from phenomenological and model studies, and point out the most important systematic uncertainties and remaining challenges in the lattice approach. 1. Introduction In this contribution, we illustrate the advances that have been made in lattice QCD calculations of hadron structure by presenting and discussing a small number of results from recent dynamical lattice studies on the longitudinal and transverse spin structure of the nucleon. For more detailed accounts of the progress that has been made on the lattice, in particular with respect to the quark and gluon structure of the pion and the nucleon, we refer to [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].

Meyer Institut fur¨ Experimentalphysik I, Ruhr-Universitat¨ Bochum, Bochum, Germany KEY WORDS: dynamic polarization, nucleon spin structure, lepton scattering, cryogenics, asymmetry ABSTRACT The development, in the early 1960s, of the dynamic nuclear polarization process in solid diamagnetic materials, doped with paramagnetic radicals, led to the use of solid polarized targets in numerous nuclear and particle physics experiments. Since then steady progress has been made in all contributing subsystems so that proton polarizations near 100% and deuteron polarizations higher than 50% have been achieved in various materials. More radiation-resistant materials, such as ammonia, have made it possible to perform experiments with high beam intensi- ties and experiments that benefit from 4He cooling at 1K and high magnetic fields.

    The Non-existence of the Proton Spin Crisis PoS(SPIN2018)123 Elliot Leader∗ Imperial College London [email protected] The spin crisis arose some 30 years ago following results of a European Muon Collaboration ex- periment on polarized DIS. Since then many people have pointed out that the arguments involved are too naive, yet papers continue to appear devoted to “the spin crisis". We explain the subtleties involved in giving a precise statement of the spin sum rule and clarify why there is really no crisis. 23rd International Spin Physics Symposium - SPIN2018 - 10-14 September, 2018 Ferrara, Italy ∗Speaker. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). https://pos.sissa.it/ Spin Crisis Elliot Leader The controversy began some decades ago when the European Muon Collaboration (EMC) published results of their experiment on polarized fully inclusive DIS, which suggested that the constituents of the proton could not provide enough angular momentum to explain the fact that the proton had spin 1/2. And so 30 years ago Mauro Anselmino and E.L. published a paper in response to the results of the EMC experiment entitled A crisis in the parton model: Where, oh where is the proton’s spin?[1].

We present the study of the internal spin structure of the nucleon in spin- dependent deep inelastic scattering of nruons on nucleons. The data were taken by the NA47 experiment of the Spin Muon Collaboration (SMC) on the high en- ergy muon beam at CERN. The experiment used the polarized proton and deuteron targets. The structure functions gf(x) and gf(x) were determined from the asymmetries of the spin-dependent event rates in the range of 0.003 < x < 0.7 and for < Q2 >= 10 GeV2. Using the first moments of these structure functions an agreement with the Bjorken sum rule prediction was found within one standard deviation. The first moments of fifi(x), for both proton and deuteron, are smaller than the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule prediction. This disagreement can be interpreted in terms of negative polarization of the strange sea in the nucleon. The singlet part of the axial current matrix element can be interpreted as an overall spin carried by quarks in the nucleon.
