Impact parameter dependence of parton densities at low xDOI: 10.1016/S0920-5632(01)01307-X Abstract: We consider impact parameter dependence of the polarized and unpolarized parton densities. Unitarity does not allow factorization of these structure functions over the Bjorken x and the impact parameter b variables. On the basis of the particular geometrical model approach we conclude that spin of constituent quark may have a significant orbital angular momentum component which can manifest itself through the peripherality of the spin dependent structure functions.
