## TL;DR

This paper explores how twist-3 generalized parton distributions (GPDs) can reveal the average transverse color Lorentz force on quarks, offering new insights into parton dynamics within nucleons.

## Contribution

It introduces a method to extract transverse position information of the transverse force using twist-3 GPDs, advancing understanding of quark-gluon correlations.

## Key findings

- Demonstrates the link between twist-3 GPDs and transverse force distribution
- Provides a framework for accessing transverse force information
- Enhances understanding of quark-gluon interactions in nucleons

## Abstract

While twist-2 GPDs allow for a determination of the distribution of partons on the transverse plane, twist-3 GPDs contain quark-gluon correlations that provide information about the average transverse color Lorentz force acting on quarks. We demonstrate how twist-3 GPDs can be used to provide transverse position information about that force.
