Abstract
The beam-spin asymmetry (BSA) has been measured for the hard exclusive e p → e n π+ reaction over a wide range of kinematics in the deep inelastic regime. The measurements were performed with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) using a 5.5 GeV polarized electron beam at Jefferson Lab (JLAB). The ϕ dependence of the BSA as well as the −t, Q 2 and xB dependence of the extracted ALU sin(ϕ) moment will be presented. For ALU sin(ϕ) a clear sign change can be observed between pions emitted in forward and backward direction with a smooth transition around 90° in CM. The results will be discussed in the context of formalisms depending on generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and transition distribution amplitudes (TDAs), which can be used to describe complementary kinematic regimes.
