摘要
We study the gluon spin contribution (Gamma) to the nucleon's spin as measured in hard QCD processes. Gamma can be related to the forward matrix element of a local gluon operator in A(+) = 0 gauge. In quark models the nucleon contains ambient color electric and magnetic fields. The latter are thought to be responsible for spin splittings among the light baryons. These fields give rise to a significant negative contribution to Gamma at the quark model renormalization scale, mu(0)(2). In a generic nonrelativistic quark model Gamma(NQM) = -8/9 (alpha(NQM)/m(q)) [l/r], in the bag model Gamma(bag) = -0.1 alpha(bag). These correspond to Gamma(NQM) approximate to -0.7 and Gamma(bag) approximate to -0.4 at alpha(QCD) approximate to 1.0.
