Angular Momentum Decomposition in QED and QCD

ORAL

Abstract

We calculate the orbital angular momentum of the ``quark'' in the scalar diquark model as well as that of the electron in QED( to order $\alpha)$. We compare the orbital angular momentum obtained from the Jaffe - Manohar decomposition to that obtained from the Ji relation and estimate the importance of the vector potential in the definition of orbital angular momentum.
