Data are relatively well described by GPD/handbag approaches Great, one can hope to learn about the gluon (transverse) spatial distribution in the nucleon, the gluon orbital momentum contribution to the nucleon spin, etc…

Comparison of t-slope for channels at 6 GeV
VMs ( 0, ) the only exclusive process [with DVCS] measured over a W range of 2 orders of magnitude ( L,T, d /dt, SDMEs,…) At low energy (W<5 GeV), success of “hard” approach for the channel ( nucleon gluon imaging) but large failure for the 0, + channels. This is not understood. Why the GPD/handbag approach sould set at much larger Q 2 for valence quarks ? Are the widely used GPD parametrisations in the valence region completely wrong ? JLab12 PR proposal: broader phase space, check when Q 2 independence settles for a variety of observables At high energy (W>5 GeV), transition from “soft” to “hard” ( 2 scale) physics relatively well understood (further work needed for precision understanding/extractions) handbag interpretation and nucleon imaging handbag interpretation and nucleon imaging
