Future measurements of deeply virtual Compton scattering

Abstract. Prospects for future measurements of deeply virtual Compton scattering are studied in leading order using different simple models for the parameterizations of generalized parton distributions (GPDs). Measurements of the lepton charge and lepton beam helicity asymmetry will yield important input for theoretical models towards the future extraction of GPDs. The kinematics of the HERMES experiment, complemented with a recoil detector, was adopted to arrive at realistic projected statistical uncertainties.
