Experimental status DVCS e p ---> e p gamma and e n ---> e n gamma at Jefferson Lab-Hall A
2004
The experiments E00-110 and E03-106 [1] propose to measure the Deep Virtual Compton Scattering process (DVCS) ep --> ep{gamma} and en --> en{gamma} in Hall A at Jefferson Lab with a 5.75 GeV longitudinally polarized electron beam. The exclusivity requires the High Resolution Spectrometer of the Hall A for the detection of the scattered electron ({Delta}p/p = 10^-4), an electromagnetic calorimeter for the detection of the real photon ({sigma}/E<5%) and a scintillator array for the detection of the third particle. A 1 GHz sampling system allows one to deal with pile-up as expected from running detectors at small angles and high luminosity L = 10^37 cm^-2 s^-1. We will describe the apparatus and will explain the method to extract GPDs and evaluate the contributions from higher twists from the measurement of the cross-section difference.
