We investigate the exclusive photoproduction of a heavy timelike photon which decays into a lepton pair, gamma p -> l+ l- p. This can be seen as the analog of deeply virtual Compton scattering, and we argue that the two processes are complementary for studying generalized parton distributions in the nucleon. In an unpolarized experiment the angular distribution of the leptons readily provides access to the real part of the Compton amplitude. We estimate the possible size of this effect in kinematics where the Compton process should be dominated by quark exchange.

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new global extraction, GUMP1.0, fits generalized parton distributions to 2,646 experimental and lattice data points at NLO accuracy and uses them to image the proton and decompose its spin.

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using light-front wave functions with one dynamical gluon, the authors obtain all leading-twist gluon GPDs of the proton at nonzero skewness and find diffraction-like patterns in longitudinal position space.
