The cross section for deeply virtual Compton scattering in the reaction ep → eγp has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using integrated luminosities of 95.0 pb −1 of e + p and 16.7 pb −1 of e − p collisions. Differential cross sections are presented as a function of the exchanged-photon virtuality, Q 2 , and the centre-of-mass energy, W , of the γ * p system in the region 5 < Q 2 < 100 GeV 2 and 40 < W < 140 GeV. The measured cross sections rise steeply with increasing W . The measurements are compared to QCD-based calculations.
