Title: Exclusive η electroproduction at W > 2 GeV with CLAS and transversity generalized parton distributions

Abstract

The cross section of the exclusive η electroproduction reaction ep → e p η was measured at Jefferson Laboratory with a 5.75 GeV electron beam and the CLAS detector.Differential cross sections d4σ/dtdQ2dxBdφη and structure functions σU = σT+ σL, σT T , and σLT , as functions of t , were obtained over a wide range of Q2 and xB. The η structure functions are compared with those previously measured for π0 at the same kinematics. At low t , both π0 and η are described reasonably well by generalized parton distributions (GPDs) in which chiral-odd transversity GPDs are dominant. The π0 and η data, when taken together, can facilitate the flavor decomposition of the transversity GPDs.
