Exclusive electroproduction of lepton pairs as a probe of nucleon structure

We suggest the measurement of exclusive electroproduction of lepton pairs as a tool to study inter-parton correlations in the nucleon via generalized parton distributions in the kinematical region where this process is light-cone dominated. We demonstrate how the single beam-spin asymmetry allows to perform such kind of analysis and give a number of predictions for several experimental setups. We comment on other observables which allow for a clean separation of different species of generalized parton distributions.Comment: 4 pages RevTeX4, 6 figures, typo fixe

Nucleon hologram with exclusive leptoproduction

Hard exclusive leptoproductions of real photons, lepton pairs and mesons are the most promising tools to unravel the three-dimensional picture of the nucleon, which cannot be deduced from conventional inclusive processes like deeply inelastic scattering.Comment: 9 pages LaTeX, 7 figures, sign in Eq.

Spin effects in deeply virtual Compton scattering

We consider the azimuthal angle dependence in the cross section of the hard leptoproduction of a photon on a nucleon target. We show that this dependence allows to define observables that isolate the twist-two and twist-three sectors in the deeply virtual Compton scattering amplitude. All twist-two and twist-three Compton form factors can be extracted from measurements of the charge odd part of the polarized cross section and give access to all generalized parton distributions.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX, 1 figure, Talk given at IX International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering Bologna, 27 April - 1 May 200

Some Exact Solutions For The Classical Hall Effect In Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field

The classical Hall effect in inhomogeneous systems is considered for the case of one-dimensional inhomogeneity. For a certain geometry of the problem and for the magnetic field linearly depending on the coordinate the density of current distribution corresponds to the skin-effect.Comment: 5 pages, LaTe
