Unified framework for generalized and transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions within a 3Q light-cone picture of the nucleon

Understand

We present a systematic study of generalized transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions (GTMDs).

• By taking specific limits or projections, these GTMDs yield various transverse-momentum dependent and generalized parton distributions, thus providing a unified framework to simultaneously model different observables.
• We present such simultaneous modeling by considering a light-cone wave function overlap representation of the GTMDs.
• We construct the different quark-quark correlation functions from the 3-quark Fock components within both the light-front constituent quark model as well as within the chiral quark-soliton model.
