DVCS Bethe-HeitlerGPDs

Using the (first version) of the BKM formalism, one can extract a combination of the “Im” CFFs and their Q2-dependence

Obs= Amp(DVCS+BH) CFFs

Can one recover the 8 CFFs from the DVCS observables?

Two (quasi-) model-independent approaches to extract, at fixed xB, t and Q2 (« local » fitting),

the CFFs from the DVCS observables (leading-twist formalism)

1/ «Brute force » fitting 

c2 minimization (with MINUIT + MINOS) of the available DVCS observables at a given xB, t and Q2 pointby varying the CFFs within a limited hyper-space (e.g. 5xVGG)

The problem can be (largely) undersconstrained:JLab Hall A: pol. and unpol. X-sectionsJLab CLAS: BSA + TSA

2 constraints and 8 parameters !

However, as some observables are largely dominated bya single or a few CFFs, there is a convergence (i.e. a well-definedminimum c2) for these latter CFFs.

The contribution of the non-converging CFF entering in the error bar of the converging ones.

2/ Mapping and linearization

If enough observables measured, one has a system of 8 equations with 8 unknowns

Given reasonnable approximations (leading-twist dominance, neglect of some 1/Q2 terms,...), the system can be linear(practical for the error propagation)
