Generalized Parton Distributions from Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering at HERMES

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-12-04 v2

Abstract

The HERMES collaboration has recently published a set of (correlated) beam charge, beam spin and target spin relative asymmetries for the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering process. This reaction allows in principle to access the Generalized Parton Distributions of the nucleon. We have fitted, in the QCD leading-order and leading-twist handbag approximation, but in a model independent way, this set of data and we report our results for the extracted Compton Form Factors. In particular, we are able to extract constrains on the HH GPD.
