Abstract The beam-spin asymmetry (BSA) has been measured for the hard exclusive e p → e n π+ reaction over a wide range of kinematics in the deep inelastic regime. The measurements were performed with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) using a 5.5 GeV polarized electron beam at Jefferson Lab (JLAB). The ϕ dependence of the BSA as well as the −t, Q 2 and xB dependence of the extracted ALU sin(ϕ) moment will be presented. For ALU sin(ϕ) a clear sign change can be observed between pions emitted in forward and backward direction with a smooth transition around 90° in CM. The results will be discussed in the context of formalisms depending on generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and transition distribution amplitudes (TDAs), which can be used to describe complementary kinematic regimes.

We report on a recent work concerning the scale dependence of twist-three correlation functions relevant for the single transverse spin asymmetry in the framework of collinear factorization. Evolution equations are presented for both the flavor–nonsinglet and flavor–singlet distributions. Our results do not agree with previous calculations of the evolution in the limit of vanishing gluon momentum. Possible sources for this discrepancy are identified.

We review the interface between the current theoretical framework based on generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and experimental measurements of deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) observables. We find that the present theoretical framework needs to be extended to cover the current and future DVCS experiments. The current formulation is based on the quantum chromodynamics factorization of the handbag diagrams, relying on handbag dominance. Our examination reveals that the handbag diagrams by themselves do not satisfy electromagnetic gauge invariance. Our numerical estimates of the DVCS amplitudes in a solvable model indicate that the handbag contribution is not sufficient to saturate the exact result. Assuming the extraction of GPDs is made, we analyzed the crossover point in GPDs, important for the single spin asymmetry seen in DVCS experiments. We found that the inclusion of the higher Fock states is essential to explain the available data of single spin asymmetry.

Hard exclusive production in deep inelastic lepton scattering provides access to the unknown Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) of the nucleon. At HERMES, the unpolarized total cross section for hard exclusive π+ production have been measured with a 27.6 GeV positron beam on an internal hydrogen gas target. First preliminary results for 1.5<Q2<10.5 GeV 2 and for 0.02<x<0.8 are presented and compared to GPD calculations. Forthcoming measurement for the single-spin asymmetry using a transversally polarized target is also reported.
