Accessing transversity GPDs in neutrino-production of a charmed meson

Abstract

We demonstrate that the transversity chiral odd generalized parton distributions can be accessed through the azimuthal dependence of the nu N -> l D N' or nubar N -> l D N' differential cross sections, in the framework of the colinear QCD approach, where GPDs factorize from perturbatively calculable coefficient functions calculated up to order mc/Q.
