Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) are rich structure functions that contain information on quark/anti-quark correlations, and on correlation between longitudinal momentum and the transverse spatial position of partons. These GPDs are accessible via hard exclusive reactions such as Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS), i.e. the leptoproduction of a real photon where the photon is emitted by the target hadron. Nuclear DVCS opens a new avenue to explore the nature of medium modifications at the partonic level. In this work, we present the first exclusive measurement of the DVCS process off helium-4 with a longitudinally polarized electron beam of 6 GeV using the CLAS detector in the experimental Hall-B at Jefferson Lab, USA. The helium-4 is of particular interest since the number of GPDs is reduced to one, because of its spin zero. The aim of this study is to understand the nuclear medium modifications of parton distributions. In our experiment, the CLAS detector was upgraded with a Radial Time Projection Chamber (RTPC) to detect the low-energy recoil nuclei, and an Inner Calorimeter (IC) to detect the forward going photons. The details of the structure, calibration and working principle of the RTPC will be presented. Then, the measurement of the beam-spin asymmetries in the DVCS channel will be presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying hard exclusive reactions in lepton-nulceon scattering like for e.g. hard exclusive photoproduction in Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS), allows to study the 3-dimensional nucleon structure in the framework of Generalized Parton Distribution functions (GPDs). From the DVCS cross section, combinations of Compton Form Factors (CFFs) can be extracted, which are used to further constrain the related GPDs. In 2016 and 2017, COMPASS measured DVCS on a 2.5 m long liquid hydrogen target using high energy (160 GeV), positively and negatively charged polarized muon beams provided by the M2 beamline of the SPS at CERN. The scattered muons and the produced real photons were detected by the COMPASS spectrometer, which was supplemented by an additional electromagnetic calorimeter for the detection of large-angle photons. To perform an exclusive measurement of the full final state, the target was surrounded by a barrel-shaped time-of-flight system to detect the recoiling target protons. The exclusive photon event sample is extracted using a dedicated event selection to identify all participating particles. This event selection includes the use of exclusivity conditions like for e.g. restricting the missing mass and is further improved by a kinematic fit under the assumption of the topology of a exclusive photon event. Its quality is used as an additonal selecting criterium. The fit also improves the resolution of the event kinematics, in particular on the square of the four-momentum transfer to the proton |t|. The selected data sample does not only include DVCS events, but also contributions by radiative photons produced in the Bethe-Heitler (BH) process and a background contamination by photons originating from the decay of neutral pions. These contributions are determined using dedicated Monte-Carlo samples and are subtracted from the data sample to obtain the pure DVCS contribution. The DVCS cross section is extracted in bins of |t|, separately for each beam charge and polarization. These cross section values are averaged over both beam charges, which allows to extract the |t|-dependence of the charge spin cross section sum. Studying this dependence allows to extract the slope parameter B by a binned log-likelihood fit using an exponential ansatz of the from: e^-B|t|}. The slope parameter is dominated by the contribution of the imaginary part of CFF H. At the COMPASS kinematics, which covers the x_Bj}-domain of sea quarks, it is related to the transverse extension of the proton due to the quark distributions. In the present analysis about 2/3 of the available data in 2016 are used. The 2017 sample is expected to provide two to three times higher statistics, which will allow to extend the analysis and extract the dependence of the slope parameter on x_Bj}.

Book excerpt: The deeply virtual Compton scattering reaction has been investigated in the Hall A of the Jefferson Laboratory by measuring longitudinally polarized (e, e'gamma) 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 Q2 as low as 2 GeV2, opening the path to systematic measurements of generalized parton distributions (GPDs). In the neutron case, preliminary data show sensitivity to the angular momentum of quarks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduced in the mid 90's, Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) are now a key element in the study of the nucleon internal structure. GPDs are a generalization of Form Factors and Parton Distribution Functions. They encapsulate both spatial and momentum distributions of partons inside a nucleon, allowing to perform its three-dimensional tomography. Furthermore, they allow to derive the total orbital angular momentum of quarks through the Ji sum rule, which is a crucial point to unravel the nucleon spin structure. By providing a more complete description of hadrons in terms of quarks and gluons, a deeper understanding of Quantum Chromodynamics can be reached.GPDs are experimentally accessible through deeply exclusive electro-production processes, and one of the simplest channels available is Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS). A worldwide experimental program was started in the early 2000's to extract these GPDs. The DVCS experiment E12-06-114 performed at Jefferson Laboratory Hall A (Virginia, USA) between 2014 and 2016, is encompassed in this program. The aim of this experiment is to extract with high precision the DVCS helicity-dependent cross sections as a function of the momentum transfer Q2, for fixed values of the Bjorken variable xBj, on a proton target. The recent upgrade of the accelerator facility to 12 GeV allows to cover a larger Q2 range than in previous measurements and probe yet unexplored kinematic regions, while the polarized electron beam allows the separation of the contributions from the real and imaginary parts of the DVCS amplitude to the total cross section. In this document, a brief summary of the worldwide experimental program for the study of GPDs will be provided, followed by a description of the E12-06-114 apparatus and data analysis. Finally, the results of the unpolarized and polarized cross-section measurements are presented and compared to a few selected models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At moderately low momentum transfer ($-t$ up to 1 GeV$^2$) the coupling to the vector meson production channels gives the dominant contribution to real Compton and deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS). Starting from a Regge Pole approach that successfully describes vector meson production, the singular part of the corresponding box diagrams (where the intermediate vector meson-baryon pair propagates on-shell) is evaluated without any further assumptions (unitarity). Such a treatment explains not only the unexpectedly large DVCS unpolarized cross section that has been recently measured at Jefferson Laboratory (JLab), but also all the beam spin and charge asymmetries that has been measured at JLab and Hermes, without explicit need of Generalized Parton Distributions (GPD). The issue of the relationship between the two approaches is addressed.

Book excerpt: An overview is given about the capabilities provided by the JLab 12 GeV Upgrade to measure deeply virtual exclusive processes with high statistics and covering a large kinematics range in the parameters that are needed to allow reconstruction of a spatial image of the nucleon's quark structure. The measurements planned with CLAS12 will cross section asymmetries with polarized beams and with longitudinally and transversely polarized proton targets in the constrained kinematics $x = \pm \xi$. In addition, unpolarized DVCS cross sections, and doubly polarized beam target asymmetries will be measured as well. In this talk only the beam and target asymmetries will be discussed.
