Generalized perton distributions: analysis and applications
Abstract
Results from a recent analysis of the zero-skewness generalized parton distributions (GPDs) for valence quarks are discussed. The analysis bases on a physically motivated parameterization of the GPDs with a few free parameters adjusted to the available nucleon form factor data. Various moments of the GPDs as well as their Fourier transfroms, the quark densities in the impact parameter plane, are also presented. The 1/x moments of the zero-skewness GPDs are form factors specific to Compton scattering off protons within the handbag approach. The results of the GPD analysis enables one to predict Compton scattering.
