Deeply Exclusive Processes: What can we measure? L Deeply Virtual (Exclusive) Meson Production (DVMP): helps to separate flavor helicity components of GPDs Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS): Clean (Talk by F. Sabatie) , but limited flavor separation
0, + p0, h: Unique sensitivity to polarized GPDs • Different mesons select different combinations of quark flavors. (Difficult to isolate in DVCS) • Extract unique information about GPDs, complementing DVCS.
How to extract GPDs • Beam spin asymmetries, longitudinal and transverse target spin asymmetries for DVCS and DVMP. • (get imaginary part of the amplitudes) • Absolute cross section measurements. • (get real part of amplitudes) • Separations of different GPDs. • (E and H and H-tilde separations)

Summary • An extensive program is underway to study GPDs by measuring exclusive channels. • Measured large ALU in ep ->epp0, ep->eph. • The second half of the run (e1-dvcs) is scheduled in 2008. • The new experiment (E05-114) using polarized proton target is also scheduled in 2008. • Deeply virtual meson production (DVMP) measurements with CLAS12 as well as DVCS is approved and will be one of flagship experiments with the JLAB 12 GeV upgraded program.
