Reconstructing Transition GPDs for Delta(1232) from Helicity Amplitude A1/2(Q2) via Dipole Fits and Impact Parameter Analysis
Abstract
This work presents a modular reconstruction of the transition generalized parton distribution (GPD) HT(x,t) for the Delta(1232) resonance, based on digitized helicity amplitude data and dipole fits to A1/2(Q2). From the fitted amplitude, we extract a Sachs-like form factor F(t) and define a separable GPD model HT(x, t) = h(x)F(t), with h(x) modeled as a normalized Beta-like profile. This factorized ansatz satisfies the GPD sum rule and enables a direct two-dimensional Fourier transform to construct transverse spatial distributions q(x,b). We analyze how longitudinal shaping modulates transverse localization, and quantify spatial features using statistical diagnostics including mean radius, skewness, and kurtosis. The framework is reproducible, data-driven, and applicable to other transition channels, providing a physically interpretable map from amplitude behavior to spatial structure.
