Abstract

The Lorentz deformation property of the phase-space distribution function is studied for harmonic oscillators. The overlap effect of two distribution functions is discussed in detail. It is shown that the Lorentz deformation of the phase-space distribution is responsible for the polynomial cutoff behavior of the proton form factor in the harmonic-oscillator quark model.
