Abstract
The cross section of the exclusive π0 and η electroproduction reaction ep→e′p′π0/η was measured at Jefferson Lab with a 5.75-GeV electron beam and the CLAS detector. Differential cross sections d4σ/dtdQ2dxBdϕ and structure functions σU=σT+ϵσL,σTT and σLT, as functions of t were obtained over a wide range of Q2 and xB. At low t, both π0 and η are described reasonably well by Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) model in which chiral-odd transversity GPDs are dominant. Generalized form factors of the transversity GPDs Hπ,ηT and ˉEπ,ηT were directly extracted from the experimental observables. The combined π0 and η data opens the way for the flavor decomposition of the transversity GPDs. The first ever demonstration of this decomposition was done for the transversity GPDs HT and ˉET. GPD ˉET is connected with the density of the polarized quarks in an unpolarized nucleon in the impact parameter space. The spin density of polarized u and d-quarks was evaluated for different values of Feynman x from the GPD model tuned to described the experimental data.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating
very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and
