الوصف: The geometric spin Hall effect of light (GSHEL), similar to the spin Hall effect of light, is also a spin-dependent shift of the centroid of light beam's intensity (energy flux), but it is a purely geometric effect that does not depend on a particular light-matter interaction. In this paper, we discuss the GSHEL with respect to momentum instead of energy flux, and find out that in the case of the symmetric energy-momentum tensor, the shift of the centroid of momentum flux is double that of energy flux. Interestingly, for the canonical energy-momentum tensor, the centroid shift of momentum flux agrees with that of energy flux. If we consider the effect of orbital angular momentum, however, the centroid displacement of momentum flux is twice that of energy flux for both energy-momentum tensors. To tell which energy-momentum tensor of light field would be more "correct", we propose a experimental scheme to test the GSHEL of momentum flux through the mechanical effect of light.
