Description
Timelike Compton Scattering (TCS) is the timelike equivalent of Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) for which many experiments have been conducted at Jefferson Lab over the past 20 years in order to access Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) and information about the 3D structure of the nucleon. TCS is the golden channel to complement DVCS measurements and perform universality studies for the GPDs, as well as complement data bases for Compton Form Factors extractions. Therefore, we are developing new dedicated experiments for JLab Hall C. In this talk, we will discuss two experiments we are developing, namely unpolarized and transversely polarized TCS with a dedicated setup for Hall C. We will also discuss the complementary measurements that can be made with GlueX (Hall D) to bring new independent constraints on the real part of the Compton amplitude.
