Abstract

We investigate the chiral odd generalized parton distributions (GPDs) for the quantum fluctuations of an electron in QED. This provides a field theory inspired model of a relativistic spin-(1)/(2) composite state with the correct correlation between the different light-front wave functions (LFWFs) in Fock space. We express the GPDs in terms of overlaps of LFWFs and obtain their representation in impact parameter space when the momentum transfer is purely transverse. We show the spin-orbit correlation effect of the two-particle LFWF as well as the correlation between the constituent spin and the transverse spin of the target.
