Abstract

We report on the first measurement of exclusive single-photonmuoproduction on the proton by COMPASS using 160 GeV/c polarised μ+ and μ− beams of the CERN SPS impinging on a liquid hydrogen target. We determine the dependence of the average ofthe measured μ+ and μ− cross sections for deeply virtual Compton scattering on the squared four-momentum transfert from the initial to the final proton. The slope B of the t-dependence is fitted with a single exponential function, which yields B=(4.3±0.6stat+0.1−0.3∣∣sys)(GeV/c)−2. This result can be converted into a transverse extension of partons in the proton, √〈r2⊥〉=(0.58±0.04stat+0.01−0.02∣∣sys±0.04model) fm. For this measurement, the average virtuality of the photon mediating the interaction is〈Q2〉=1.8(GeV/c)2 and the average value of the Bjorken variableis〈xBj〉=0.056
