Contributions to the nucleon spin from lattice QCD calculations

This conference talk discusses lattice QCD calculations supporting Philipp Hägler's work on contributions to nucleon spin. It covers the computation of nucleon matrix elements, form factors, and spin and orbital angular momentum contributions. Chiral extrapolations from QCDSF/UKQCD and LHPC are examined, along with the nucleon spin sum rule and GPDs. The talk touches on chiral perturbation theory, low-energy effective field theory of QCD, and various expansions and calculations related to nucleon spin. Results from different lattice calculations and comparisons with experimental data are reviewed, shedding light on the structure of hadrons and quark angular momentum. The talk highlights the importance of understanding systematic uncertainties in lattice simulations and suggests future research directions.

  3. The nucleon spin sumrule and GPDs DVCS Nucleon spin sumrule (Ji PRL 1997) everything is: -gauge-invariant -scale and scheme dependent -measurable moments of GPDs where conservation of momentum rotational symmetry translation invariance conservation of angular momentum momentum sumrule
