<b>Wide-Angle Photoproduction of Pions</b><br>
<br>
After an introduction in the handbag approach to hard wide-angle
processes such as real Compton scattering or photoproduction of
pions, it is reported on a calculation of the latter process to
twist-3 accuracy. In contrast to earlier work both the 2-particle
as well as the 3-particle twist-3 contributions are taken into
account. It is shown that both the contributions are needed for a
consistent result that respects gauge invariance and crossing
properties. The use of the twist-3 pion distribution amplitudes go
along with form factors that represent 1/x-moments of transversity
generalized distribution amplitudes. The numerical studies reveal
the dominance of the twist-3 contribution. With it fair agreement
with the recent CLAS measurement of the pi^0 cross section is
achieved. Spin-dependent observables are also discussed.
