Deuteron transverse densities in holographic QCD

Understand

We investigate the transverse charge density in the longitudinally as well as transversely polarized deuteron using the recent empirical description of the deuteron electromagnetic form factors in the framework of holographic QCD.

• The predictions of the holographic QCD are compared with the results of a standard phenomenological parameterization.
• In addition, we evaluate GPDs and the gravitational form factors for the deuteron.
• The longitudinal momentum densities are also investigated in the transverse plane.
