abstract
We report high-precision measurements of the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) cross section at high values of the Bjorken variable $x_B$. DVCS is sensitive to the Generalized Parton Distributions of the nucleon, which provide a three-dimensional description of its internal constituents. Using the exact analytic expression of the DVCS cross section for all possible polarization states of the initial and final electron and nucleon, and final state photon, we present the first experimental extraction of all four helicity-conserving Compton Form Factors (CFFs) of the nucleon as a function of $x_B$, while systematically including helicity flip amplitudes. In particular, the high accuracy of the present data demonstrates sensitivity to some very poorly known CFFs.

GUMP1.0 -- First global extraction of generalized parton distributions from experiment and lattice data with NLO accuracy
A new global extraction, GUMP1.0, fits generalized parton distributions to 2,646 experimental and lattice data points at NLO accuracy and uses them to image the proton and decompose its spin.
