Generalized Parton Distributions and Distribution of Partons in the Transverse Plane

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

I discuss the physical interpretation of GPDs in the limit ξ=0\xi=0, where the tt dependence contains information about the distribution of partons in the transverse plane. GPDs thus allow a simultaneous determination of the longitudinal momentum and transverse position of partons in the infinite momentum frame, which also provides a physical interpretation for Ji's angular momentum sum rule.
