Backward DVCS and Proton to Photon Transition Distribution Amplitudes
نویسنده
چکیده
Soltan Institute for Nuclear Studies, Warsaw, Poland LPT, Université Paris-Sud, 91405, Orsay, France We analyse deeply-virtual Compton scattering on a proton target, γP → P γ in the backward region and in the scaling regime. We define the transition distribution amplitudes which describe the proton to photon transition. Model-independent predictions are given to test this description, for current or planned experiments at JLab or by Hermes.

New results in exclusive hard reactions
Generalized Parton Distributions offer a new way to access the quark and gluon nucleon structure. We review recent progress in this domain, emphasizing the need to supplement the experimental study of DVCS by its crossed version, timelike Compton scattering (TCS), where data at high energy should appear thanks to the study of ultraperipheral collisions at the LHC. This will open the access to v...
متن کاملEstimates for Pion-Photon Transition Distributions
In the scaling regime, amplitudes for backward virtual Compton scattering and hadron annihilation into two photons depend on structure functions that describe the hadron-photon transition at the partonic level. We construct simple analytical models for the vector and axial-vector pion-photon transition distribution amplitudes based on double distributions. Via a sum rule, these models are tuned...
متن کاملO ct 2 00 6 Exploring backward pion electroproduction in the scaling regime
We use general relations between the Transition Distribution Amplitudes (TDAs), entering the description of the p → π 0 transition, and the proton Distribution Amplitudes (DAs) in the soft-pion limit to estimate the size of the amplitude for backward electroproduction of π 0 at large Q 2. We have recently [1] shown that factorisation theorems [2] for exclusive processes apply to π − π + → γ * γ...
متن کاملGeneralized Parton Distributions and Generalized Distribution Amplitudes : New Tools for Hadronic Physics 1
The generalized parton distributions and the generalized distribution amplitudes give access to a deeper understanding of the quark and gluon content of hadrons. In this short review, we select some new developments of their interesting connections with the physics information that one can extract from exclusive reactions at medium and high energies. A considerable amount of theoretical and exp...
متن کاملDeeply Virtual Compton Scattering and Prompt Photon Production at Zeus and H1 Experiments
The interest of Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS), i.e. exclusive photon production off the proton γ∗p −→ γp (see Fig. 1a), is in the insight it gives to the applicability of perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) in the field of diffractive interactions and to the nucleon partonic structure. The hard interaction between the photon and the proton proceeds via the exchange of at least...
