Impact Parameter Dependent PDFs form factors: FT ρ( r) GPDs(x, 0, 2 ): form factor for quarks with momentum fraction x suitable FT of GP Ds should provide spatial distribution of quarks with momentum fraction x careful: cannot measure longitudinal momentum (x) and longitudinal position simultaneously (Heisenberg) consider purely transverse momentum transfer q(x,b ) = d 2 (2π) 2 H(x, 0, 2 )e ib q(x,b ) = parton distribution as a function of the separation b from the transverse center of momentum R i q,g r,ix i (MB, 2000) Information Content of the DVCS Amplitude p.8/25
Impact Parameter Dependent PDFs No relativistic corrections (Galilean subgroup!) corollary: interpretation of 2d-FT of F 1 (Q 2 ) as charge density in transverse plane also free from relativistic corrections q(x,b ) has probabilistic interpretation as number density ( q(x,b ) as difference of number densities) Reference point for IPDs is transverse center of (longitudinal) momentum R i x ir i, for x 1, active quark becomes COM, and q(x,b ) must become very narrow (δ-function like) H(x, 2 ) must become indep. as x 1 (MB, 2000) consistent with lattice results for first few moments ( J.Negele) Note that this does not necessarily imply that hadron size goes to zero as x 1, as separation r between active quark and COM of spectators is related to impact parameter b via r = 1 1 x b.
