Nucleon structure from a light-front hamiltonian

We obtain the light-front wave functions (LFWFs) of the nucleon in the leading Fock sector representation using basis light-front quantization (BLFQ) approach. We adopt a light-front effective Hamiltonian, which includes a three-dimensional confining potential and a one-gluon exchange interaction with fixed coupling, and solve for it mass eigenstates. We then employ the LFWFs to compute the axial form factor and the transverse charge and magnetization densities for the nucleon. The axial form factor is found to be consistent with the experimental data. The charge and magnetization densities agree qualitatively with the phenomenological fits.
