Scaling tests of the cross section for deeply virtual Compton scattering.

چکیده
We present the first measurements of the e[over -->]p-->epgamma cross section in the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) regime and the valence quark region. The Q(2) dependence (from 1.5 to 2.3 GeV(2)) of the helicity-dependent cross section indicates the twist-2 dominance of DVCS, proving that generalized parton distributions (GPDs) are accessible to experiment at moderate Q(2). The helicity-independent cross section is also measured at Q(2)=2.3 GeV(2). We present the first model-independent measurement of linear combinations of GPDs and GPD integrals up to the twist-3 approximation.

Two recent results in ep physics using the ZEUS detector at HERA are discussed: a measurement of the prompt photon production cross section in photoproduction, and the first observation of Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering in DIS.
متن کاملDeeply Virtual Compton Scattering and Saturation Approach
We investigate the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) in the color dipole approach, implementing the dipole cross section through the saturation model, which interpolates successfully between soft and hard regimes. The imaginary and real part of the DVCS amplitude are obtained and the results are compared to the available data.

We consider the azimuthal angle dependence in the cross section of the hard leptoproduction of a photon on a nucleon target. We show that this dependence allows to define observables that isolate the twist-two and twist-three sectors in the deeply virtual Compton scattering amplitude. All twist-two and twist-three Compton form factors can be extracted from measurements of the charge odd part of...
متن کاملDeeply Virtual Compton Scattering at JLab Hall A
The deeply virtual Compton scattering reaction has been investigated in the Hall A of the Jefferson Laboratory by measuring longitudinally polarized (~e, e′γ) cross sections, in the valence quark region, for protons and neutrons. In the proton channel, experimental results strongly support the factorization of the cross section at Q as low as 2 GeV, opening the path to sytematic measurements of...
متن کاملDeeply Virtual Compton Scattering at HERA
Deeply virtual Compton scattering has recently been studied by three HERA experiments, H1, ZEUS and HERMES, covering a broad range of kinematic regimes. We present cross section measurements of the two collider experiments in the kinematic region 2<Q<100 GeV and 30<W<140 GeV, and compare them to QCDbased calculations. HERMES measurements of azimuthal asymmetries and their kinematical dependence...
