چکیده
Theory and phenomenology of generalized parton distributions: a brief overview. Abstract The generalized parton distributions are non-perturbative objects, which encode information on long distance dynamics in a number of exclusive processes. They are hybrids of conventional parton densities, distribution amplitudes and hadron form factors. We give a brief review of theoretical developments in understanding of their properties, higher order perturbative effects, power corrections, and experimental observables where they are accessible.

Generalized parton distributions: Status and perspectives
We summarize recent developments in understanding the concept of generalized parton distributions (GPDs), its relation to nucleon structure, and its application to high–Q2 electroproduction processes. Following a brief review of QCD factorization and transverse nucleon structure, we discuss (a) new theoretical methods for the analysis of deeply–virtual Compton scattering (t–channel–based GPD pa...
متن کاملGeneralized parton correlation functions for a spin-0 hadron
The fully unintegrated, off-diagonal quark-quark correlator for a spin-0 hadron is parameterized in terms of so-called generalized parton correlation functions. Such objects are of relevance for the phenomenology of certain hard exclusive reactions. In particular, they can be considered as mother distributions of generalized parton distributions on the one hand and transverse momentum dependent...
متن کاملProbing generalized parton distributions with electroproduction of lepton pairs off the nucleon
We evaluate the differential cross section for the electroproduction of lepton pairs off a polarized nucleon target in the generalized Bjorken region to leading power accuracy in hard momentum. We discuss the importance of this process for phenomenology of generalized parton distributions. A special attention is given to the sensitivity of physical observables, i.e., diverse asymmetries, to the...
متن کاملGeneralized transverse momentum dependent parton distributions of the nucleon
Parton distributions play an important role in the QCD description of hard scattering processes. In particular, generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) have extensively been studied during the last decade. We focus here on the most general form of quark-quark correlation functions, the socalled generalized transverse momentum depende...
متن کاملGeneralized Parton Distributions
We give an overview of the theory for generalized parton distributions. Topics covered are their general properties and physical interpretation, the possibility to explore the three-dimensional structure of hadrons at parton level, their potential to unravel the spin structure of the nucleon, their role in small-x physics, and efforts to model their dynamics. We review our understanding of the ...
