Study of the proton structure by measurements of polarization transfers in real Compton scattering at JLab

A preliminary analysis of polarization-transfer data at large scattering angle (70[degrees]), obtained in an experiment of real Compton scattering on proton, performed in Hall-C of Jefferson Lab, is presented.

Description
Summary:A preliminary analysis of polarization-transfer data at large scattering angle (70[degrees]), obtained in an experiment of real Compton scattering on proton, performed in Hall-C of Jefferson Lab, is presented. It is also discussed the relevance of this kind of experiments for shedding light on the non-perturbative structure of the proton, at low energy, and on the transition from the non-perturbative regime to the perturbative one, that occurs at high energy. Moreover, the possibility to extract Compton form factors and the Generalized Parton Distributions, one of the most promising theoretical tool to determine the total angular momentum contribution of quarks and gluons to nucleon spin, is emphasized.
