We present the recent data issued from the Halls A and B of Jefferson Laboratory for the Deep Virtual Compton Scattering Process on the proton. An important set of data for beam spin asymmetries, unpolarized cross sections and differences…
The study of two spin asymmetries in hadron-hadron collisions probes the details of fundamental particle interactions in ways infeasible to machines with unpolarized collisions. Within reach is how the proton spin is distributed among its…
