Abstract

Hadron-to-two-hadron transition generalized parton distributions (GPDs) extend the concept of hadron-to-resonance transition GPDs and provide a unified description of non-diagonal hard exclusive reactions in the generalized Bjorken limit. We present the formalism for the case of spinless hadrons addressing the non-diagonal deeply virtual Compton scattering $γ^{*} π \to γ π π$ in terms of $π \to π π$ transition GPDs, which generalize GPDs for $π \to f_{0}, ρ, f_{2}, \dots$ transitions. We work out the basic properties of $π \to π π$ transition GPDs and establish the soft pion theorems at the $2 π$ production threshold. We construct the partial wave expansion of $π \to π π$ transition GPDs in the two-pion decay angles and employ the dispersive approach to constrain $π \to π π$ transition GPDs in terms of $π π$ -scattering phases with help of the Omnès representation. We estimate the $e^{-} π^{+} \to e^{-} γ π^{+} π^{0}$ cross section in the kinematics of the JLab@12 GeV incorporating the isolated $ρ (770)$ resonance state and work out the angular distributions of the cross section, specifying the observables sensitive to the polarization states of the produced $ρ (770)$ resonance.
