Archivio Istituzionale della RicercaBaryon-to-meson Transition Distribution Amplitudes (TDAs) encoding valuable new information on hadron structure appear as building blocks in the collinear factorized description for several types of hard exclusive reactions. In this paper, we address the possibility of accessing nucleon-to-pion (N) TDAs from ¯pp ! e+e−0 reaction with the future ¯ PANDA detector at the FAIR facility. At high center of mass energy and high invariant mass of the lepton pair q2, the amplitude of the signal channel ¯pp ! e+e−0 admits a QCD factorized description in terms of N TDAs and nucleon Distribution Amplitudes (DAs) in the forward and backward kinematic regimes. Assuming the validity of this factorized description, we perform feasibility studies for measuring ¯pp ! e+e−0 with the ¯ PANDA detector. Detailed simulations on signal reconstruction efficiency as well as on rejection of the most severe background channel, i.e. ¯pp ! +−0 were performed for the center of mass energy squared s = 5 GeV2 and s = 10 GeV2, in the kinematic regions 3.0 < q2 < 4.3 GeV2 and 5 < q2 < 9 GeV2, respectively, with a neutral pion scattered in the forward or backward cone | cos 0 | > 0.5 in the proton-antiproton center of mass frame. Results of the simulation show that the particle identification capabilities of the ¯PANDA detector will allow to achieve a background rejection factor of 5 · 107 (1 · 107) at low (high) q2 for s = 5 GeV2, and of 1 · 108 (6 · 106) at low (high) q2 for s = 10 GeV2, while keeping the signal reconstruction efficiency at around 40%. At both energies, a clean lepton signal can be reconstructed with the expected statistics corresponding to 2 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. The future measurement of the signal channel cross section with ¯ PANDA will provide a new test of perturbative QCD description of a novel class of hard exclusive reactions and will open the possibility of experimentally accessing N TDAs.

Abstract
Baryon-to-meson Transition Distribution Amplitudes (TDAs) encoding valuable new information on hadron structure appear as building blocks in the collinear factorized description for several types of hard exclusive reactions. In this paper, we address the possibility of accessing nucleon-to-pion (N) TDAs from ¯pp ! e+e−0 reaction with the future ¯ PANDA detector at the FAIR facility. At high center of mass energy and high invariant mass of the lepton pair q2, the amplitude of the signal channel ¯pp ! e+e−0 admits a QCD factorized description in terms of N TDAs and nucleon Distribution Amplitudes (DAs) in the forward and backward kinematic regimes. Assuming the validity of this factorized description, we perform feasibility studies for measuring ¯pp ! e+e−0 with the ¯ PANDA detector. Detailed simulations on signal reconstruction efficiency as well as on rejection of the most severe background channel, i.e. ¯pp ! +−0 were performed for the center of mass energy squared s = 5 GeV2 and s = 10 GeV2, in the kinematic regions 3.0 < q2 < 4.3 GeV2 and 5 < q2 < 9 GeV2, respectively, with a neutral pion scattered in the forward or backward cone | cos 0 | > 0.5 in the proton-antiproton center of mass frame. Results of the simulation show that the particle identification capabilities of the ¯PANDA detector will allow to achieve a background rejection factor of 5 · 107 (1 · 107) at low (high) q2 for s = 5 GeV2, and of 1 · 108 (6 · 106) at low (high) q2 for s = 10 GeV2, while keeping the signal reconstruction efficiency at around 40%. At both energies, a clean lepton signal can be reconstructed with the expected statistics corresponding to 2 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. The future measurement of the signal channel cross section with ¯ PANDA will provide a new test of perturbative QCD description of a novel class of hard exclusive reactions and will open the possibility of experimentally accessing N TDAs.
