Proton tomography with generalized parton distributions at current and future facilities

General Seminar

Understanding the mass, spin, and mechanical properties encoded in the multidimensional structure of the nucleon has long been a central goal of nuclear physics, and a key motivation for experimental programs at Jefferson Lab and the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at BNL. Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and gravitational form factors (GFFs) have therefore attracted growing attention in recent years. In this talk, I will present recent progress in studying GPDs and GFFs through exclusive production processes and complementary constraints. In particular, I will report a state-of-the-art extraction of GPDs from global analyses that combine experimental and lattice QCD data, establishing a benchmark for GPD studies at the EIC. I will also discuss new developments in probing proton GFFs via exclusive heavy quarkonia production near the threshold.

This event will take place in Physics/Astronomy Tower, room C421. All interested graduate students and faculty are invited to attend.

Participants are also welcome to join via Zoom. Zoom link will be available via announcement email, or by contacting intmail[at]uw.edu
