Beam spin asymmetry in deeply virtual $\pi$ production

Abstract

An interpretation of the beam spin azimuthal asymmetries measured at JLAB in deep exclusive electroproduction of charged and neutral pions is presented. The model combines a Regge pole approach with the effect of nucleon resonances. The $s$- and $u$-channel contributions are described using a dual Bloom-Gilman connection between the exclusive form factors and inclusive deep inelastic structure functions. The results are in agreement with data provided the excitations of nucleon resonances are taken into account.
