Confinement, Form Factors, and Tomography

The strong interaction is the fundamental force that holds quarks and the
gluon force carriers together to form protons and neutrons and also holds the
atomic nucleus together. The theory governing quark-gluon interactions is Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). A wide variety of experimental data teaches us thatquarks and gluons cannot be observed in isolation, a phenomenon known as confinement...

26. GPD and gravitational form factor at large momentum transfer

Yoshitaka Hatta (BNL)

GPDs, TMDs, and Nucleon Tomography

Based on soft collinear effective theory (SCET), we derive factorization formula for the so-called Feynman contribution to the generalized parton distributions (GPD) and gravitational form factors at large momentum transfer.
