Abstract

We report the measurement of the four-fold differential cross section of deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) on the proton using a longitudinally polarized 10.6 GeV CEBAF electron beam incident on a liquid-hydrogen target with the CLAS12 detector. The analysis provides 1312 data points, expanding the measured phase space in the valence quark region, 0.06 < xB < 0.58, 1.00 < Q2 < 5.76 GeV2, and 0.11 < |t| < 1.00 GeV2. DVCS cross section measurements directly constrain the real part of the DVCS amplitude through its interference with the Bethe-Heitler process, making them essential inputs to global extractions of the Compton Form Factors (CFFs), particularly the dominant CFF H. These data improve sensitivity to these observables and can contribute to future determinations of the proton's internal mechanical structure.
