Abstract

A multidimensional extraction of the structure function ratio σLT/σ0\sigma_{LT'}/\sigma_{0} from the hard exclusive epenπ+\vec{e} p \to e^\prime n \pi^+ reaction above the resonance region has been performed. The study was done based on beam-spin asymmetry measurements using a 10.6 GeV incident electron beam on a liquid-hydrogen target and the CLAS12 spectrometer at Jefferson Lab. The measurements focus on the very forward regime (t/Q2t/Q^{2} \ll 1) with a wide kinematic range of xBx_{B} in the valence regime (0.17 << xBx_{B} << 0.55), and virtualities Q2Q^{2} ranging from 1.5 GeV2^{2} up to 6 GeV2^{2}. The results and their comparison to theoretical models based on Generalized Parton Distributions demonstrate the sensitivity to chiral-odd GPDs and the directly related tensor charge of the nucleon. In addition, the data is compared to an extension of a Regge formalism at high photon virtualities. It was found that the Regge model provides a better description at low Q2Q^{2}, while the GPD model is more appropriate at high Q2Q^{2}.
