Exploring twist-4 chiral-even GPDs in the light-front quark-diquark model

Abstract: In this work, we delve into the realm of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) by calculating twist-4 chiral-even generalized parton distributions (GPDs), within the context of the light-front quark-diquark model (LFQDM), focusing specifically on the intriguing case of zero skewness. To shed light on the behavior of twist-4 chiral-even GPDs, we present comprehensive two-dimensional ($2$-D) and 3-dimensional ($3$-D) plots, mapping their dependence on the longitudinal momentum fraction ($x$) and the momentum transfer ($t$). Furthermore, our research looks into the profound connection between twist-4 chiral-even GPDs and other distribution functions (DFs), including parton distribution functions (PDFs), transverse momentum-dependent parton distributions (TMDs) and generalized transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions (GTMDs). Additionally, our investigation extends to the exploration of related higher twist form factors (FFs), which play a pivotal role in elucidating the internal structure of hadrons. To provide significant insights into the partons spatial distribution, we have also yielded impact parameter GPD plots.
