The reaction e+ e- -> e+ e- gamma* gamma* -> e+ e- hadrons is analysed for quasi-real virtual photons using data collected by the L3 detector during the LEP high energy runs at sqrt(s) = 183 and 189 GeV. Preliminary results on the cross…
Exclusive $\pi^0$ electroproduction from nucleons at large $Q^2$ can be described by Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs), particularly the chiral odd subset related to transversity. These GPDs can be accessed experimentally from various…
