For W>5 GeV, good indications that the “hard”/pQCD regime is reached/dominant for m2=(Q2+MV
2)/4 ~ 3-5 GeV2.
Data are relatively well described by GPD/handbag approaches
Great, one can hope to learn about the gluon (transverse)spatial distribution in the nucleon, the gluon orbital momentum contribution to the nucleon spin, etc…

At the time of the analysis (~2008), radiative corrections were treated as averaged over Mp+p-, i.e. only as a function
of (xB, Q2)
Relatively small effect on r0 cross sections asthe “distortion” of the Mp+p- spectrum was “absorbed”
in the effective p+p- continuum background subtraction(also ~25% syst. uncertainty was included)

However, current more refined re-analysis of these data (B. Garillon, aimed at f0 and f2 analysis, see talk on Saturday)
show that there is a Mp+p--dependence

(preliminary)
Comparison of t-slope for r0, w, f channels at 6 GeV
VMs (r0, ,w f) the only exclusive process [with DVCS] measured over a W range of 2 orders of magnitude (sL,T, ds/dt, SDMEs,…)
At low energy (W<5 GeV), success of “hard” approach forthe f channel ( nucleon gluon imaging) but large failurefor the r0, , w r+ channels.This is not understood. Why the GPD/handbag approach sould set at much larger Q2 for valence quarks ? Are the widely used GPD parametrisations in the valence region completely wrong ?
JLab12 PR12-11-103 proposal: broader phase space, checkwhen Q2 independence settles for a variety of observables
At high energy (W>5 GeV), transition from “soft” to “hard”(m2 scale) physics relatively well understood (further workneeded for precision understanding/extractions) handbag interpretation and nucleon imaging
