  4. Accessing GPDs Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering Deeply Virtual Meson Production (DVCS) (DVMP) DVCS: different observables have different sensitivity to the 4 GPDs • VM(r, w, f): H E • PS mesons (p, h): H E • DVCS(g): H, E, H, E Quantum number of final state selects different GPDs: ~ ~ Physical observables involve convolution of GPDs - onlyxand t accessible exp. GPDs are more complicated than PDFs - functions of 3 variables instead of 1 Exclusive reactions are smaller and harder to measure than inclusive ones ~ ~ Difficult to extract GPDs from the data GPDs extraction possible ONLY through models/parameterizations

  25. Conclusions &Outlook • Jefferson Lab as a unique world-leading facility for nuclear physics research has attracted since the beginning an international community which has played a major role in the scientific program • The 12 GeV upgrade has reinforced the interest of the international community due to: • - New vistas in QCD • - Growing program Beyond the Standard Model • - Capability to be on schedule • The Countries of France, Italy, UK have being funded since several years by the European Community (EU) to develop R&D and analysis network for the physics at JLab

  26. Conclusions &Outlook The impact of JLabscience in the international panorama can be improved: Establishing collaborations with other facilities having similar/complementary physics program Panda @ FAIR (in progress) LNF/ INFN …….. LNF: Search for new forces mediated by vector boson A’ • Organizing workshop/conferences with HEP community • Tests of the standard model at Jlab complementary to the information obtained at LHC • TMD results foundamental for RICH/LHC physics • Organizing Jlab Collaborations Meetings outside USA • National Funding Agencies are usually invited to attend • For the last 5 years this has been done regularly by the Hall B Collaboration (every 2 years) but never by Hall A, Hall C and only once by Hall D
