Off-forward gluonometry

Zusammenfassung

We explore the deeply virtual Compton scattering process at NLO with the emphasis on the measurement of the tensor gluon skewed distributions. We recalculate the one-loop coefficient function and give two-loop results for anomalous dimensions and exclusive evolution kernels required for studying the logarithmic scaling violation. We evaluate weighted cross sections which give direct access to these functions on experiment. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
