Abstract
We present a model calculation of the generalized parton distributions where the nucleon is described by a quark core surrounded by a mesonic cloud. In the one-meson approximation, we expand the Fock state of the physical nucleon in a series involving a bare nucleon and two-particle, meson-baryon, states. We discuss the role of the different Fock-state components of the nucleon by deriving a convolution formalism for the unpolarized generalized parton distributions, and showing predictions at different kinematics.
