Asymptotic high energy behavior of the deeply virtual Compton scattering amplitude

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-08-25 v2

Abstract

We compute the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) amplitude for forward and backward scattering in the asymptotic limit. Since this calculation does not assume ordering of the transverse momenta, it includes important logarithmic contributions that are beyond those summed by the DGLAP evolution. These contributions lead to a power-like behavior for the forward DVCS amplitude.
