Constraints on the $\tilde{H}$ Generalized Parton Distribution from Deep Virtual Compton Scattering Measured at HERMES

Abstract

We have analyzed the longitudinally polarized proton target asymmetry data of the Deep Virtual Compton process recently published by the HERMES collaboration in terms of Generalized Parton Distributions. We have fitted these new data in a largely model-independent fashion and the procedure results in numerical constraints on the ${\tilde{H}}_{\mathrm{Im}}$ Compton Form Factor. We present its $t-$ and $\hat{I}¾-$ dependencies. We also find improvement on the determination of two other Compton Form Factors, $H_{\mathrm{Re}}$ and $H_{\mathrm{Im}}$.
