Description

We investigate the spin flip Generalized Parton Distribution $E(x,0,t)$ in impact parameter space using the explicit light front wave functions (LFWFs) for the two-particle Fock state of the electron in QED. The Fourier transform (FT) of the GPDs by taking the longitudinal momentum transfer as zero ($\zeta=0$) gives the distribution of quarks in the transverse plane. We study the relationship of $E(x,0,t)$ with the distortion of unpolarized quark distribution in the transverse plane when the target nucleon is transversely polarized. We also determine the sign of distortion directly by taking FT of the transverse position coordinate.
