On the D-term of the nucleon generalized parton distributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

It is known that some of the deeply-virtual-Compton-scattering observables, for instance, the beam-charge asymmetry in the hard electroproduction of real photons on the nucleon, are extremely sensitive to the magnitude of D-term appearing in the parameterization of the generalized parton distributions. We report a theoretical analysis of both the isoscalar and isovector parts of the nucleon D-term within the framework of the chiral quark soliton model, without recourse to the derivative expansion type approximation used in previous works.
