Description
Lepton-hadron scattering experiments at high momentum transfer have provided an extensive source of information on the quark and gluon structure of hadrons both in unpolarized and polarized phenomena. However, a multi-dimensional description in both momentum and coordinate space can only be attained through a new generation of high-energy exclusive processes which, based on proven QCD factorization properties, allow one to single out new hadronic matrix elements -- the so-called Generalized Form Factors (GFF) -- that display a much richer structure than conventional observables. This talk will explore the transverse spin structure of hadrons within the new context of hard exclusive reactions, in particular neutral pion production, on both nucleons and nuclei.
