Description
Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) serve as indispensable tools in filling in the gaps of the angular momentum sum rules as well as mapping the partonic spatial structure of hadrons. In this work, we extend the utility of GPDs in mapping the proton’s spatial structure beyond the typical one-body partonic picture, obtainable through Fourier transformations of GPDs to impact parameter space. Connecting two-body densities with the correlation functions that define double GPDs, we find that exclusive processes give access to relative distances and overlaps between partons.
