Description
In the past decades, the study of hadrons in three dimensions has received a lot of attention and made significant progress using both the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions. In this presentation, I will discuss how the GPDs can help us understand better nuclei in terms of quarks and gluons with a specific highlight on several experimental programs. First, I will present the CLAS experiment that mesured deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) off helium-4, which led to the first extraction of nuclear GPDs. Then, I will discuss the extension of this work that is being prepared for the CLAS12 experiment using a low energy recoil detector (ALERT). Finally, I will present some recent phenomenological studies toward nuclear DVCS experiments at the future electron ion collider (EIC).
