Abstract

We report on the use of Feynman-Hellmann techniques to calculate the off-forward Compton amplitude (OFCA) in lattice QCD. At leading-twist, the Euclidean OFCA is parameterised by the Mellin moments of generalised parton distributions (GPDs). Hence we extract GPD moments for two values of the soft momentum transfer, t=1.10,2.20  GeV2t=-1.10, -2.20\;\text{GeV}^2 and zero-skewness kinematics at an unphysical pion mass of mπ470  MeVm_{\pi}\approx 470\;\text{MeV}. This includes the first determination of the n=4n=4 moments.
