This book is a rare jewel, describing fundamental research in a
highly dynamic field of subatomic physics. It presents an overview
of cross section measurements of deeply virtual Compton scattering.
Understanding the structure of the proton is one of the most
important challenges that physics faces today. A typical tool for
experimentally accessing the internal structure of the proton is
lepton-nucleon scattering. In particular, deeply virtual Compton
scattering at large photon virtuality and small four-momentum
transfer to the proton provides a tool for deriving a
three-dimensional tomographic image of the proton. Using clear
language, this book presents the highly complex procedure used to
derive the momentum-dissected transverse size of the proton from a
pioneering measurement taken at CERN. It describes in detail the
foundations of the measurement and the data analysis, and includes
exhaustive studies of potential systematic uncertainties, which
could bias the result.
