We present a model calculation of the generalized parton distributions where the nucleon is described by a quark core surrounded by a mesonic cloud. In the one-meson approximation, we expand the Fock state of the physical nucleon in a…
We discuss the structure functions and the parton distributions in the virtual photon target, both polarized and unpolarized, beyond the leading order in QCD. We study the factorization-scheme dependence of the parton distributions.
We show that Mellin moments of generalized parton distributions, given as even polynomials in the skewness parameter, are obtained from the Taylor expansion of light front wave functions. Furthermore, we derive non-standard versions of the…
We argue that generalized parton distributions (GPDs), accessible in hard exclusive processes, carry information about the spatial distribution of forces experienced by quarks and gluons inside hadrons. This way the measurements of hard…
In this paper polarized valon distribution is derived from unpolarized valon distribution. In driving polarized valon distribution some unknown parameters exist which must be determined by fitting to experimental data. Here we have used…
