Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering off the neutron
The present experiment exploits the interference between the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and the Bethe-Heitler processes to extract the imaginary part of DVCS amplitudes on the neutron and on the deuteron from the helicity-dependent D$$({\vec e},e'\gamma)X$$ cross section measured at $Q^2$=1.9 GeV$^2$ and $$x_B$$=0.36. We extract a linear combination of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) particularly sensitive to $$E_q$$, the least constrained GPD. A model dependent constraint on the contribution of the up and down quarks to the nucleon spin is deduced.
