Contribution

It introduces a novel phenomenological quark-nucleon vertex function derived from electromagnetic form factors within a light-front framework.

Findings

Quark momentum distributions are successfully computed.

The approach connects form factors with internal quark structure.

Provides insights into nucleon internal dynamics.

Abstract

Longitudinal and transverse quark momentum distributions in the nucleon are calculated from a phenomenological quark-nucleon vertex function obtained through an investigation of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors within a light-front framework.
