Unpolarized and polarized densities based on a light-front quark–diquark model

Abstract

In this paper, we calculate the proton and neutron unpolarized and transversely polarized densities. We use the light-front wave function (LFWF), which at an initial scale is constrained by the soft-wall anti-de Sitter (AdS) QCD model, for calculating the Dirac and Pauli form factors which transverse densities are in terms of these form factors. Also, we use these form factors for calculating the flavor separated results for the proton and neutron electromagnetic form factors and calculate u and d quark unpolarized and transversely polarized densities. Finally, we compare our results with other previous parametrizations.
