Observations of Chiral Odd GPDs and their Implications

Abstract

Our original suggestion to investigate exclusive π0\pi^0 electroproduction as a method for extracting the tensor charge, transversity, and other quantities related to chiral odd generalized parton distributions from cross section and asymmetry data is reviewed. We explain some of the details of the process: {\it i)} the connection between the helicity description and the cartesian basis; {\it ii)} the dependence on the momentum transfer squared, Q2Q^2, and {\it iii)} the angular momentum, parity, and charge conjugation constraints (JPCJ^{PC} quantum numbers).
