Description
Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) is the simplest probe of Generalized Parton Distributions, which offer information on the spatial and longitudinal momentum distributions of particles within the nucleon. The use of a PbWO4 electromagnetic calorimeter to perform neutral particle spectrometry allows for high precision measurements of the DVCS cross section, providing deeper insight to the internal structure of the proton and neutron.
