Abstract

We present the tomographical structure of baryons by studying the nonforward matrix elements of lightlike correlation functions of the tensor current. At the leading twist, with the tensor current, four chiral-odd distributions are in count. We calculate these distributions in a diquark spectator model with light-front formalism by considering purely transverse momentum transfer, i.e., zero skewness. Predictions for the nucleons and light hyperons are studied, emphasizing the difference arising from their different quark flavors.
