Description
The Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) collaboration is currently taking the first physics data of the 12 GeV era at Jefferson Lab. With the E12-06-114 experiment running in Hall A, we will extend the extraction of the Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) amplitudes through the measurement of the $p(\vector{e},e^{\prime}\gamma)p^{\prime}$ reaction, with scaling tests of the cross section with Q$^2$ up to 9~GeV$^2$ at fixed x$_{Bj}=0.36$, $0.50$, and $0.60$. Additionally, separating photons from the decay of neutral pions that are also in the acceptance of our calorimeter will allow us for the extraction of the $p(e,e^\prime\pi^0)p^\prime$ cross section for the same kinematic points. In this talk I will present the first studies of the Fall 2014 data, and discuss preliminary results and projections.
