Can we measure Double DVCS at JLab and the EIC?

Double deeply virtual Compton scattering (DDVCS) is a very precise tool for the nucleon tomography. Its measurement requires high luminosity electron beams and precise dedicated detectors, since its amplitude is quite small in the interesting kinematical domain where collinear QCD factorization allows the extraction of quark and gluon generalized parton distributions (GPDs). We analyze the prospects for its study in the JLab energy domain as well as in higher energy electron-ion colliders. Our results are very encouraging for various observables both with an unpolarized and polarized lepton beam. Using various realistic models for GPDs, we demonstrate that DDVCS measurements are indeed very sensitive to their behaviour. Implementing our lowest order cross-section formulae in the EpIC Monte Carlo generator, we estimate the expected number of interesting events.

Double DVCS as a window to the complete mapping of GPDs

Double deeply virtual Compton scattering (DDVCS) is the process where an electron scatters off a nucleon and produces a lepton pair. The main advantage of this process in contrast with deeply virtual and timelike Compton scatterings (DVCS and TCS) is the possibility of directly measuring GPDs for $x\neq\pm\xi$ at leading order in $\alpha_s$ (LO). We present a new calculation of the DDVCS amplitude based on spinor techniques which produce expressions for amplitudes that are perfectly suited for their implementation in numerical simulations. Elements of impact studies, including predictions for experiments at JLab12, JLab20+ and the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), are studied by means of the PARTONS software and the EpIC Monte Carlo event generator.

Prospects for GPDs extraction with Double DVCS

Double deeply virtual Compton scattering (DDVCS) is the process where an electron scatters off a nucleon and produces a lepton pair. The main advantage of this process in contrast with deeply virtual and timelike Compton scatterings (DVCS and TCS) is the possibility of directly measuring GPDs for $x\neq\pm\xi$ at leading order in $\alpha_s$ (LO). We present a new calculation of the DDVCS amplitude based on the methods developed by R. Kleiss and W. J. Stirling in the 1980s. These techniques produce expressions for amplitudes that are perfectly suited for implementation in numerical simulations. Via the PARTONS software, the correctness of this new formulation has been tested by comparing the DVCS and TCS limits of DDVCS with independent calculations of DVCS and TCS.

Phenomenology of double deeply virtual Compton scattering in the era of new experiments

We revisit the phenomenology of the deep exclusive electroproduction of a lepton pair, i.e. double deeply virtual Compton scattering (DDVCS), in view of new experiments planned in the near future. The importance of DDVCS in the reconstruction of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) in their full kinematic domain is emphasized. Using Kleiss-Stirling spinor techniques, we provide the leading order complex amplitudes for both DDVCS and Bethe-Heithler sub-processes. Such a formulation turns out to be convenient for practical implementation in the PARTONS framework and EpIC Monte Carlo generator that we use in simulation studies.

Parton Energy Loss in Two-Stream Plasma System

The energy loss of a fast parton scattering elastically in a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma is formulated as an initial value problem. The approach is designed to study an unstable plasma, but it also reproduces the well known result of energy loss in an equilibrium plasma. A two-stream system, which is unstable due to longitudinal chromoelectric modes, is discussed here some detail. In particular, a strong time and directional dependence of the energy loss is demonstrated.
