Pion production in deeply virtual Compton scattering
Abstract
Using a soft pion theorem based on chiral symmetry and a (1232) resonance model we propose an estimate for the production cross section of low energy pions in the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) process. In particular, we express the e p e γ π N processes in terms of generalized parton distributions. We provide estimates of the contamination of the e p e γ p DVCS observables due to this associated pion production processes when the experimental data are not fully exclusive, for a set of kinematical conditions representative of present or planned experiments at JLab, HERMES and COMPASS.
