Measurement of azimuthal asymmetries associated with deeply virtual Compton scattering on an unpolarized deuterium target

Abstract: Azimuthal asymmetries in exclusive electroproduction of a real photon from an unpolarized deuterium target are measured with respect to beam helicity and charge. They appear in the distribution of these photons in the azimuthal angle φ around the virtual-photon direction, relative to the lepton scattering plane. The extracted asymmetries are attributed to either the deeply virtual Compton scattering process or its interference with the Bethe-Heitler process. They are compared with earlier results on the proton… Show more

“…The results in this paper may be relevant for the experiments at JLab and a future EIC [38] and for the proposed fixed-target projects @LHC [39], where different polarized hadrons and nuclei can be employed. Current data for spin-1 tomography is rather scarce, with HERMES having measured deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) on the deuteron with both unpolarized [40] and polarized targets [41]. In these measurements, hadrons were not detected in the final state, but simulations were used to select a sample of enhanced coherent deuteron contribution.…”

“…COMPASS focussed on a little larger x B -from ' 0:01 to ' 0:1 [23]. The data from HERMES is in the range 0:03 < x B < 0:35 [24,25]. The study of the high x B domain, where valence quarks should dominate, requires high luminosity and a high energy electron beam.…”

“…Using data collected with longitudinally polarised electron and positron beams and unpolarised, longitudinally and transversely polarised hydrogen and deuterium targets, it was possible to measure asymmetries with respect to beam charge, beam polarisation and target polarisation alone and also with respect to their different combinations. Full references for the HERMES DVCS results can be found in [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Complementary information on GPDs can be obtained from measurements of hard exclusive meson production processes + N → + N + V .…”
