- The GPDs enter the DVCS amplitude as an integral
over x - GPDs appear in the real part through a
Principal-value integral over x - GPDs appear in the imaginary part along the
line xx
but its not so simple

- Twist-2 terms should dominate s and Ds
- Subject to reasonableness of Twist-3 Matrix
Elements - 2. All coefficients have known Q2-dependence
(Powers of -t/Q2 or (tmin-t)/Q2) which are
incorporated into analysis. - 3. Angular Harmonic terms ci, si, are
Q2-independent in leading twist (except for QCD
evolution).
7Designing a DVCS experiment
Measuring cross-sections differential in 4
variables requires
- Good identification of the experimental process,
i.e. exclusivity
With perfect experimental resolution

8Hall A DVCS philosophy
- Precision measurement of kinematics
- Precision knowledge of the acceptance
- High Resolution Spectrometer (HRS) for electron
- Simple, high performance 11x13 element
(3x3x19cm3) PbF2 Calorimeter - Waveform digitizing
- Low resolution detection of proton direction for
calibration of MC

22Conclusion at 6 GeV
- High luminosity (gt1037) measurements of DVCS
cross sections are feasible using trigger
sampling system - Tests of scaling yield positive results
- No Q2 dependence of CT2 and CT3
- Twist-3 contributions in both Ds and s are small
- Note DIS has small scaling violation in same x,
Q2 range. - In cross-section difference, accurate extraction
of Twist-2 interference term - High statistics extraction of cross-section sum.
- Models must calculate ReBHDVCSDVCS2
- ? d?(h) d?(h-) ? BH2
- Relative Asymmetries contain interference and
bilinear DVCS terms in denominator.
