Some comments on the handbag approach to wide-angle exclusive scattering
arXiv:hep-ph/0410147 · doi:10.1002/andp.200410111
Abstract
The handbag mechanism for wide-angle exclusive scattering reactions is discussed and compared to other theoretical approaches. The role of power laws in observables is critically examined. Applications of the handbag mechanism to Compton scattering and meson photoproduction are presented. The soft physics input to these processes are specific form factors which represent 1/x moments of generalized parton distributions at zero skewness. A recent analysis of the nucleon form factors provide these GPDs and, hence, the new form factors.
