This paper reviews the experimental measurements in the field of deeply virtual Compton scattering and related theoretical efforts aimed for the extraction of generalized parton distributions, objects, describing the three-dimensional structure of nucleons and nuclei. The future experiments and theoretical expectations are also considered.
Working at twist 2 accuracy and assuming the dominance of the Generalized Parton Distribution H we study the helicity-dependent and independent cross sections measured in Hall A and the beam spin asymmetries measured in Hall B at Jefferson Laboratory. We extract the real and imaginary parts of the Compton Form Factor , the latter being obtained with a 20–50 % uncertainty. We discuss our results and compare to other extractions as well as to the popular VGG model. We pay extra attention to the estimation of systematic errors on the extraction of
