A Study of Off-Forward Parton Distributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

An extensive theoretical analysis of off-forward parton distributions (OFPDs) is presented. The OFPDs and the form factors of the quark energy-momentum tensor are estimated at a low-energy scale using a bag model. Relations among the second moments of OFPDs, the form factors, and the fraction of the nucleon spin carried by quarks are discussed.
