Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) allow to describe the structure of the nucleon in a very rich and unprecedented way: they contain the correlations between the (transverse) position and (longitudinal) momentum distributions of the partons in the nucleon, they allow to derive the orbital momentum contribution of partons to the nucleon's spin, they provide an access to the nucleon's...

The chiral-odd transversity generalized parton distributions of the nucleon can be accessed experimentally through the exclusive photoproduction process gamma + N -> pi + rho + N', in the kinematics where the meson pair has a large invariant mass and the final nucleon has a small transverse momentum, provided the vector meson is produced in a transversally polarized state.

We describe a new way to access the chiral odd transversity parton distribution in the proton through the photoproduction of lepton pairs. The basic ingredient is the interference of the usual Bethe Heitler or Drell-Yan amplitudes with the amplitude of a process, where the photon couples to quarks through its chiral-odd distribution amplitude, which is normalized to the magnetic susceptibility...

Deeply Virtual Exclusive Reactions with CLAS
Deeply virtual exclusive reactions offer an unique opportunity to study the structure of the nucleon at the parton level as one varies both the size of the probe, i.e. the photon virtuality Q^2, and the momentum transfer to the nucleon t. Such processes can reveal much more information about the structure of the nucleon than either inclusive...
