Feasibility Study of Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering Using COMPASS at CERN

Deeply virtual Compton scattering is a very suitable tool to learn about Generalized parton distributions. We propose to use the 190 GeV (or 100 GeV) muon beam at CERN to study Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering. The high energy of the lepton beam and the present luminosity allows to measure absolute cross section or beam charge asymmetry in a large range of Q² and x_Bj (1 ≤ Q² ≤ 7 GeV² and 0.03 ≤ x_Bj ≤ 0.27). We discuss the experimental implications for the existing COMPASS set-up.
