Hard exclusive processes with JLab 12 GeV

The aim of the discussions is to assess what measurements of hard exclusive processes at JLab 12 GeV can contribute to our knowledge of the nucleon GPDs, and to develop strategies for the analysis of the data. To organize the discussion, we broadly distinguish three regions, characterized by their own experimental and theoretical challenges and interest for nucleon structure

		Experiment	Theory	Interest
I	H(x, xi = 0, t)	PDFs, formfactors	Correlation x-t (Regge, Lattice, etc)	2D quark imaging ("tomography")
II	H(x, x = xi, t)	Im(DVCS) from spin asymmetries	Transition point behavior QCD evolution	"Stopping" of fast quark
III	H(x, xi, t)	Re(DVCS) from cross section, charge asymmetry; meson production	General parametrizations	3D quark imaging Sum rules Ju, Jd

The discussions in this workshop will focus on Regions II and III, where the GPDs are probed directly in hard exclusive processes (DVCS, meson production).

The presentations are intended to provide material for the discussions, and should be kept as concise as possible (10-15 min, unless otherwise agreed).
