Chiral-odd generalized parton distributions for proton in a light-front quark-diquark model

Abstract

We present a study of the chiral-odd generalized parton distributions for $u$ and $d$ quarks in a proton using the light front wave functions of the scalar quark-diquark model for nucleon constructed from the soft-wall AdS/QCD correspondence. We obtain the GPDs in terms of overlaps of the LFWFs. Numerical results for chiral-odd GPDs in momentum as well as transverse position spaces considering both zero and nonzero skewness($\zeta$) are presented. For nonzero skewness, the GPDs are also evaluated in longitudinal position space.
