Extraction of skewed parton distributions

Abstract

Skewed parton distributions contain new non-perturbative information about hadronic states. Thus, their extraction from experimental data is an important goal. Properties and models for skewed parton distributions as well as their extraction, based on perturbative leading-order results, are shortly reviewed.
