Generalized Parton Distributions of the Photon

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-05-28 v2

Abstract

We present a first calculation of the generalized parton distributions of the photon(both polarized and unpolarized) using overlaps of light-front wave functions at leading order in \alpha and zeroth order in \alpha_s; for non-zero transverse momentum transfer and zero skewness. We present the novel parton content of the photon in transverse position space.
