Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering with Positron Beams at Jefferson Lab

TL;DR

This paper discusses the potential of using polarized positron and electron beams at Jefferson Lab's 12 GeV upgrade to enhance the understanding of deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) and nucleon structure.

Contribution

It highlights the advantages of combining polarized positron and electron beams with polarized targets for DVCS studies, proposing new experimental approaches.

Findings

Using positron beams can improve DVCS measurements.

Polarized beams with polarized targets provide more detailed nucleon structure data.

Enhanced experimental setups at Jefferson Lab can lead to new insights.

Abstract

A brief discussion of the DVCS program at the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV energy upgrade is given. Emphasis is on what can be learned from using both polarized electron and polarized positron beams in conjunction with polarized nucleon targets.
