By using recent calculation of dPDFs by means of constituent quark models within the so-called light-front approach, we investigate the role of relativistic effects on dPDFs. We find, in particular, that the so-called Melosh operators, which allow us to properly convert the LF spin into the canonical one and incorporate a proper treatment of boosts, produce sizeable effects on dPDFs. We discuss specific partonic correlations induced by these operators in the transverse plane which are relevant to the proton structure, and we study under which conditions these results are stable against variations in the choice of the proton wave function.", optnote="WOS:000396024900005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3005), last updated on Thu, 06 Apr 2017 11:06:52 +0000", issn="2470-0010", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.95.034040", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1611.04793", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.95.034040", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1611.04793", language="English" }
