Description

We examine the spatial density within extended objects of the momentum component p+, and find relativistically exact connections to Fourier transforms of gravitational form factors. We apply these results to obtain semiempirical momentum density distributions within nucleons, and similar distributions for spin-1 objects based on theoretical results from the AdS/QCD correspondence. We find that the momentum density in the transverse plane is more compact than the charge density.
