Demystifying generalized parton distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
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 this picture, I will then make some general predictions for these processes. PACS. 11.10.Hi 11.30.Ly 12.38.Bx

Generalized parton correlation functions for a spin-0 hadron
The fully unintegrated, off-diagonal quark-quark correlator for a spin-0 hadron is parameterized in terms of so-called generalized parton correlation functions. Such objects are of relevance for the phenomenology of certain hard exclusive reactions. In particular, they can be considered as mother distributions of generalized parton distributions on the one hand and transverse momentum dependent...
متن کاملGeneralized parton correlation functions for a spin-1/2 hadron
Abstract: The fully unintegrated, off-diagonal quark-quark correlator for a spin-1/2 hadron is parameterized in terms of so-called generalized parton correlation functions. Such objects, in particular, can be considered as mother distributions of generalized parton distributions on the one hand and transverse momentum dependent parton distributions on the other. Therefore, our study provides ne...
متن کاملGENERALIZED PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS AT LARGE MOMENTUM TRANSFER a
The role of generalized parton distributions in wide-angle exclusive reactions will be discussed. In contrast to deep virtual exclusive reactions the wide angle processes offer the possibility of investigating the generalized parton distributions at large momentum transfer.
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 کاملOn “dual” parametrizations of generalized parton distributions
We propose a parametrization for the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) which is based on representation of parton distributions as an infinite series of tchannel exchanges. The entire generalized parton distribution is given as an infinite sum over contributions of generalized light-cone distribution amplitudes in the tchannel. We also discuss the relations of the lowest Mellin moments of...
