Electroproduction of a large invariant mass photon pair

We study the exclusive electroproduction of a photon pair in the kinematical regime where the diphoton invariant mass is large and where the nucleon flies almost in its original direction. We discuss the relative importance of the QCD process where the two photons originate from a quark line compared to the single (double) Bethe-Heitler processes where one (two) photons originate from the lepton line. This process turns out to be a promising tool to study generalized parton distributions in the nucleon, both at the medium energy of JLab and at a high energy electron ion collider.

Hard photoproduction of a diphoton with a large invariant mass

The electromagnetic probe has proven to be a very efficient way to access the $3-$dimensional structure of the nucleon, particularly thanks to the exclusive Compton processes. We explore the hard photoproduction of a large invariant mass diphoton in the kinematical regime where the diphoton is nearly forward and its invariant mass is the hard scale enabling to factorize the scattering amplitude in terms of generalized parton distributions. This amplitude has a very peculiar and interesting analytic structure. We calculate unpolarized cross sections and the angular asymmetry triggered by a linearly polarized photon beam.

Exclusive production of a large mass photon pair

The scattering amplitude for photoproduction of a large invariant mass diphoton in the generalized Bjorken regime has a very peculiar and interesting analytical structure. The leading twist leading order amplitude is proportional to valence quark generalized parton distributions taken at the border value $x=\pm ξ$. Cross section estimates show that this process is measurable at JLab energies. The angular asymmetry triggered by a linearly polarized photon beam is large.

On generation of the Bargmann-Moshinsky basis of SU(3) group

An efficient procedure of orthonormalisation of the Bargmann-Moshinsky (BM) basis is examined using analytical formulas of the overlap integrals of the BM basis. Calculations of components of the quadrupole operator between the both BM and the orthonormalised bases needed for construction of the nuclear models are tested. The proposed procedure is also implemented as the Fortran program.
