Optimized Extraction of Generalized Parton Distributions from Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering
ORAL
Abstract
\noindent Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) are a powerful tool that allows greater insight into the internal structure of the nucleon. GPDs define the matrix elements for the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) process [1]. I will first present a spectator model calculation for the quark, anti-quark and gluon chiral even GPDs $H,E, \widetilde{H},\widetilde{E}$ in terms of the kinematic variables X, $\zeta$, and $t$ [2]. The model implements the polynomiality and positivity constraints, and it is evolved in perturbative QCD up to next to leading order. I will then illustrate the implementation of computer tensor algebra methods to construct algorithms to optimize the analysis for DVCS, Bethe Heitler, and interference cross-section terms for various beam and target polarization in the formalism of Ref.[3]. \vspace{0.3cm}
