Abstract:

The energy-momentum tensor matrix elements describe the particle coupling to gravitational field. They are responsible for gravity action on particle spin which may result, in particular, in neutrino spin-flip in anisotropic Universe. One of the proton's formfactors, related to the pressure of quarks, was recently experimentally extracted from the data obtained in Jefferson Lab. (Nature, V. 557, p. 396, May 17, 2018). The pressure is extremely large with the distribution analogous to that in macroscopic stable object, like a star.
