Abstract:
We study Real and Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering in a model based on Regge trajectories and two-gluon exchange. In the kinematic regime of current experiments, the hadronic component of the outgoing real photon plays a major role. We analyze the spin structure of Compton scattering at large momentum transfer and give predictions for several spin asymmetries. In the DVCS channel, a fairly good agreement is obtained for the recently measured beam spin and charge asymmetries.

  • 12 pages: 6 figures This revised version corrects a mumerical mistake in the evaluation of the conversion factor between vector mesons and Compton amplitudes. Also, more details are given on the parameters of the sigma meson amplitude Journal-ref: Phys.Lett. B551 (2003) 317-323
