Unraveling hadron structure with generalized parton distributions
The generalized parton distributions, introduced nearly a decade ago, have emerged as a universal tool to describe hadrons in terms of quark and gluonic degrees of freedom. They combine the features of form factors, parton densities and distribution amplitudes—the functions used for a long time in studies of hadronic structure. Generalized parton distributions are analogous to the phase-space W...
متن کاملNucleon Structure and Generalized Parton Distributions
This paper discusses a selected part of the experimental program dedicated to the study of Generalized Parton Distributions, a recently introduced concept which provides a comprehensive framework for investigations of the partonic structure of the nucleon. Particular emphasis is put on the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering program performed at the Jefferson Laboratory. The short and long term f...
متن کاملHe structure and Generalized Parton Distributions ∗
Nuclear Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs), a unique tool to access several crucial features of nuclear structure, could be measured in the coherent channel of hard exclusive processes, such as deep electroproduction of photons and mesons off nuclear targets. Here, a realistic microscopic calculation of the unpolarized quark GPD H 3 q of the 3 He nucleus is described. In Impulse Approximat...
متن کاملGeneralized Parton Distributions
■ Abstract This review explains why generalized parton distributions and the related quantum phase-space distributions are useful in exploring the quark and gluon structure of the proton and neutron. It starts with the physics of form factors and parton distributions. Then quantum phase-space distributions and their offspring are discussed. The properties of generalized parton distributions are...
متن کاملDemystifying generalized parton distributions
In this paper, I will explain in as simple and intuitive physical terms as possible what generalized parton distributions are, what new information about the structure of hadrons they convey and therefore what picture of the hadron will emerge. To develop this picture, I will use the example of deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) and exclusive meson electroproduction processes. Based on th...
