Description
The study of Deeply Virtual Exclusive Processes (DVEP) provides crucial insights into the three-dimensional structure of the nucleon by probing Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs). These GPDs offer a comprehensive description of the spatial distribution of quarks and gluons within the nucleon and their contributions to its overall properties, including spin and mass. Key reactions, such as Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS), Time-like Compton Scattering (TCS), and Deeply Virtual Meson Production (DVMP) of various mesons, are investigated. These processes enable nucleon tomography, help unravel the nucleon spin puzzle by constraining Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs), and significantly enhance our understanding of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and the emergent properties of hadrons. In this talk, recent results from CLAS12 at Jefferson Lab will be presented, and the potential program with the future Electron-Ion Collider will be discussed.
