Description
Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) are some of the most intriguing quantities in QCD because they provide a spatial tomography of nucleons and nuclei, and their moments connect several aspects of hadron structure, such as parton distribution functions, electromagnetic and gravitational form factors, orbital angular momentum, and the nucleon mass. These properties make GPDs some of the most important quantities in QCD. It is therefore essential to access GPDs using facilities such as Jefferson Lab and the forthcoming Electron-Ion Collider. This talk will discuss the challenges involved in extracting GPDs from experimental data, focusing on the complexities of the associated inverse problem, along with some early results.
