 GPDs are the appropriate framework to deal with the partonic structure of hadrons and offer the unprecedented possibility to access the spatial distribution of partons. Parton Imaging M. Burkardt, PRD 62 (2000) M.Diehl, EPJC 25 (2002) 223 GPDs can be interpreted as a 1/Q resolution distribution in the transverse plane of partons with longitudinal momentum x.  GPDs = GPDs(Q 2,x, ,t) whose perpendicular component of the momentum transfer to the nucleon is Fourier conjugate to the transverse position of partons.  GPDs encode the correlations between partons and contain information about the dynamics of the system like the angular momentum or the distribution of the strong forces experienced by quarks and gluons inside hadrons.

Expected Performances e JLEIC Eric Voutier  A group (J. Grames, J. Guo, F. Lin, V. Morozov, E. Voutier) is exploring a proposal to test a prototype polarized positron injector for JLEIC. L ≥10 33 cm -2 s -1 P e+ ≥40% Instead of using a GeV electron beam for positron production, a novel approach being considered is to use and accumulate an MeV electron beam to then directly produce the positron bunch train. Positron polarization is produced by the PEPPo method. A pulsed beam with low average current (~10 nA) but significant bunch charge (~2pC) and high macro-pulse peak current (~50µA) is required fo r injection into JLEIC.

We wish to call for the creation of a Positron Working Group whose charge will be to develop the Physics Case for Polarized Positron at Jlab. JLab12 & JLEIC We are expecting to have several Working Sessions and a final Workshop to deliver a White Paper by the end of Anybody interested to contribute please and

Conclusions Summary The PEPPo technique provides an efficient and reliable method for producing a polarized positron beam, particularly adapted to CEBAF.
