Description
The spin content of the proton is studied in the thermodynamical model of a nucleon. In this study, the different ingredients and their contributions to the spin are studied. The chemical potentials of constituent quarks, spin contributions coming from valence quarks and asymmetries are calculated and compared with the available data. We find that this statistical model with number conservation of valence quarks reproduces the naive quark model prediction for the spin content of the proton. (orig.)
