Deeply virtual Compton scattering on the neutron with positron beam

Nuclear Experiment 2021-07-28 v1

Abstract

Measuring DVCS on a neutron target is a necessary step to deepen our understanding of the structure of the nucleon in terms of Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs). The combination of neutron and proton targets allows to perform a flavor decomposition of the GPDs. Moreover, neutron-DVCS plays a complementary role to DVCS on a transversely polarized proton target in the determination of the GPD EE, the least known and constrained GPD that enters Ji's angular momentum sum rule. A measurement of the beam-charge asymmetry (BCA) in the e±de±nγ(p)e^{\pm} d\to e^{\pm}n\gamma(p) reaction can significantly impact the experimental determination of the real parts of the EE and, to a lesser extent, H~\widetilde{H} GPDs.
