Description

In the framework of generalized parton distributions, we study the helicity-dependent and independent cross sections measured in Hall A and the beam spin asymmetries measured in Hall B at Jefferson Laboratory. We perform a global fit of these data and fits on each kinematic bin. We extract the real and imaginary parts of the Compton form factor H under the main hypothesis of dominance of the generalized parton distribution H and twist 2 accuracy. We discuss our results and compare to previous extractions as well as to the VGG model. We pay extra attention to the estimation of errors on the extraction of H.
