Abstract

Further the project of interpolating the relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics between the instant form and the front form as well as developing the four-fermion operator formalism in the hadron form factor analysis. We plan to examine the interface between the current theoretical framework and experimental measurements at JLab with the upcoming 12 GeV upgrade of the continuos electron beam accelerator facility. In particular the chiral symmetry of QCD will be applied to the hadron phenomenology for the measurement of proton GPDs in DVCS at JLab using the four-fermion operator formalism.
