Abstract
The cross section of the exclusive electroproduction reaction was measured at Jefferson Laboratory with a 5.75 GeV electron beam and the CLAS detector. Differential cross sections and structure functions , and , as functions of , were obtained over a wide range of and . The structure functions are compared with those previously measured for at the same kinematics. At low , both and are described reasonably well by generalized parton distributions (GPDs) in which chiral-odd transversity GPDs are dominant. The and data, when taken together, can facilitate the flavor decomposition of the transversity GPDs.
