Generalized Transverse-Momentum Dependent Parton Distributions in Light-Cone Quark Models

Abstract

We discuss the general formalism for the calculation in light-cone quark models of the fully unintegrated, off-diagonal quark-quark correlator of the nucleon. The corresponding distributions in impact parameter space are the Wigner or phase-space distributions. The results obtained in two different light-cone quark models in the case of unpolarized quarks in an unpolarized proton are very similar and present a non-trivial shape which can be understood as due to the orbital motion of the quarks.Comment: Proceedings for the "Light Cone 2010 Relativistic Hadronic and Particle Physics" workshop, 3 Figs, 8p
