Off-forward parton distributions and impact parameter dependent parton structure

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The connection between parton distributions as a function of the impact parameter and off-forward parton distributions is discussed in the limit of vanishing skewedness parameter ξ\xi, i.e. when the off-forwardness is purely transverse. It is also illustrated how to relate ξ0\xi\neq 0 data to ξ=0\xi=0 data, which is important for experimental measurements of these observables.
