The light meson electroproduction is analyzed within the handbag approach. We consider the leading-twist contribution together with the transversity effects. We show that the transversity Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs), $H_T$ and…

At high energy, the photoproduction or electroproduction of Vector Mesons allow to prepare a beam of quark-antiquark pairs of a given flavor. At high momentum transfer, the study of the scattering of these pairs on a nucleon opens up an…

Even at moderate energy machines, there is a regime where hard pion electroproduction proceeds by a perturbatively calculable process. The process, we claim, is not the leading twist fragmentation one but rather a higher twist process that…

We summarize recent developments in understanding the concept of generalized parton distributions (GPDs), its relation to nucleon structure, and its application to high-Q2 electroproduction processes. Following a brief review of QCD…
Recently, there have been some interesting developments involving off-forward parton distributions of the nucleon, deeply virtual Compton scattering, and hard diffractive vector-meson production. These developments are triggered by the…
Hard diffractive photo- and electroproduction of heavy vector mesons ($J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$) is evaluated within the leading $\alpha_s\ln{Q^2 \over\Lambda_{QCD}^2}$ approximation of QCD. In difference from our earlier work on that…
Exclusive processes in hard electroproduction are one of the best place for understanding QCD in view of its factorization properties. In particular, in the limit of asymptotic gamma* p center of mass energy, they give an access to the…
