We present results for the Wigner distributions of the nucleon, which provide multidimensional images of the quark distributions in the phase space and can be seen as the mother distributions of the standard generalized and transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions. We discuss the general features of these distributions within a light-front constituent quark model, emphasizing the new information that can be deduced about the spin-orbit correlations of the quarks in the nucleon.

Abstract

We present results for the Wigner distributions of the nucleon, which provide multidimensional images of the quark distributions in the phase space and can be seen as the mother distributions of the standard generalized and transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions. We discuss the general features of these distributions within a light-front constituent quark model, emphasizing the new information that can be deduced about the spin-orbit correlations of the quarks in the nucleon.
