Generalized Parton Distributions and Distribution of Partons in the Transverse Plane
Abstract
I discuss the physical interpretation of GPDs in the limit ξ = 0, where the t dependence contains information about the distribution of partons in the transverse plane. GPDs thus allow a simultaneous determination of the longitudinal momentum and transverse position of partons in the infinite momentum frame, which also sheds some light on the physical interpretation of Ji's angular momentum sum rule.
