Deeply virtual Compton scattering on spin-1 nuclei Original Research Article

We consider the Generalized Parton Distributions for spin-1 nuclei in general and on the deuteron in particular. We use the impulse approximation to obtain a convolution model for them. Sum rules are used to check the validity of the approach and to estimate the importance of higher Fock-space states in the deuteron. Numerical predictions for the Beam Spin Asymmetry in deeply virtual Compton scattering are presented.
