Skewed Parton Distributions in Real and Virtual Compton Scattering

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

The handbag contribution to Compton scattering at moderately large momentum transfer factorises into parton-photon subprocess amplitudes and new form factors representing 1/x-moments of skewed parton distributions. A detailed phenomenological study for polarised and unpolarised real and virtual Compton scattering is presented
