abstract

Chirally odd generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and the Boer-Mulders function provide valuable information about spin-orbit correlations for quarks in nucleons and other hadrons. We compare results for the relevant GPD $\bar{E}^q_T$ from a variety of phenomenological models as well as recent lattice results. We find that $\bar{E}^q_T>0$ for nucleons as well as the pion and for both $u$ and $d$ quark. As a result, the corresponding Boer Mulders functions are all expected to be negative. The sign of $\bar{E}^q_T$ arises from the relative sign between the upper and lower Dirac components for the quark wave functions.

Nucleon tensor form factors at large $N_{c}$

hep-ph · 2025-01-21 · conditional · novelty 6.0

In the pion mean-field picture at large Nc, the nucleon tensor charge and anomalous tensor magnetic moment are valence dominated, while the tensor quadrupole moment is sea dominated and strongly enhanced near the chiral limit.
