Key properties of the nucleon are encoded in the correlation between their longitudinal momentum and their transverse position, such as the orbital angular momentum. This correlation is expressed through Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs), which can be understood as spatial densities at different values of the longitudinal momentum of the quark. Validation of our understanding of hard...

Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) provide a route to spatial tomography of the nucleon, and have revolutionized how we characterize the nucleon structure, by providing a unified description of quark densities in spatial coordinates in relation to their momenta. GPDs can be accessed by measuring hard exclusive processes such as deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) and deeply virtual...

Inclusive deep inelastic scattering experiments have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) structure of nuclei and the effect of nuclear matter on the structure of hadrons. A great example is the observation by the European Muon Collaboration (EMC) of a deviation of the deep inelastic structure function of a nucleus from the sum of the structure...

The quark orbital angular momentum component of the proton spin, Lq, can be defined in QCD both as the integral of a Wigner phase space dis- tribution weighing the cross product of the quark’s transverse position and momentum, and in terms of a twist-three Generalized Parton Distribution (GPD). I will present results on the link between the two definitions, which reflects their dependence on...
