Description
Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) is the easiest reaction that
accesses the Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) of the nucleon.
GPDs offer the exciting possibility of mapping the 3-D internal
structure of protons and neutrons by providing a transverse image of
the constituents as a function of their longitudinal momentum. A
vigorous experimental program is currently pursued at Jefferson Lab
(JLab) to study GPDs through DVCS. New results recently released will
be shown and discussed. We will conclude with an outlook on the
Upgrade of JLab to 12 GeV, which will allow the full exploration of
the valence quark structure of nucleons and the extraction of full
tomographic images.
