Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) is the easiest reaction that
accesses the Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) of the nucleon.
GPDs offer the exciting possibility of mapping the 3-D internal
structure of protons and neutrons by providing a transverse image of
the constituents as a function of their longitudinal momentum. A
vigorous experimental program is currently pursued at...

Generalised Parton Distributions (GPDs) has been introduced in the 1990's and have been studied both experimentally and theoretically since then. If the general framework of the field is now well established, the GPDs themselves are still hardly known, since they are hard to extract from experimental data. On the other hand several phenomenological models have been developed, and QCD-connected...

This talk will review new insights into the quark structure of
the nucleon that have been made with recent global QCD analysis
of parton distributions, using new analysis techniques to take
into account the latest high-precision data from Jefferson Lab.

The SeaQuest experiment at Fermilab continues a series of Drell-Yan measurements to explore the antiquark content of the nucleon and to study the modifications to nucleon structure when the nucleon is embedded into a nuclei. To extend existing measurements to larger values of Bjorken-x, a 120 GeV proton beam extracted from Fermilab’s Main Injector is used, resulting in 50 times more luminosity...
