Abstract:Abstract. It has been recently proposed to study coherent deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) off 3 He nuclei to access neutron generalized parton distributions (GPDs). In particular, it has been shown that, in Impulse Approximation (IA) and at low momentum transfer, the sum of the quark helicity conserving GPDs of 3 He, H and E, is dominated by the neutron contribution. This peculiar result makes the 3 He target very promising to access the neutron information. We present here the IA calculation of the s… Show more
