Status of DVMP, DVCS and GPDs

Understand

The analysis of exclusive meson leptoproduction (DVMP) within the handbag approach is reviewed and the parametrization of the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) is discussed in some detail with the main interest focused of the GPDs H and E.

• Applications of the GPDs extracted from DVMP to other hard exclusive processes as for instance deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) and an evaluation of Ji's sum rule are also presented.
