Timelike Compton scattering with a linearly polarized photon beam
arXiv:1404.0713 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.89.094031
Abstract
We study the timelike virtual Compton scattering process with a linearly polarized photon beam, in the generalized Bjorken scaling region and in the medium energy range which will be studied intensely at JLab12 experiments. We define new observables and show how they should help to access the polarized quark and gluon generalized parton distributions.
