| Title | Title Parton Distributions in Impact Parameter Space |
| Topic | Oral |
| Abstract of 200 words or less Parton distributions in impact parameter space, which are obtained by Fourier transforming GPDs, are exhibit a significant deveiation from axial symmetry when the target and/or quark is transversely polarized. In combination with the final state interactions, this transverse deformation provides a natural mechanism for naive-T odd transverse single-spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive DIS. The deformation can also be related to the transverse force acting on the active quark in polarized DIS at higher twist. |
