Electron-Positron Radiative Annihilation : Timelike Virtual Compton Scattering

Abstract

We report on a recent work proposing measurements of the deeply virtual Compton amplitude (DVCS) ${\gamma }^{\ast }\to h\bar{h}\gamma$ in the timelike kinematic domain which is accessible at electron-positron colliders via the radiative annihilation process $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to h\bar{h}\gamma$.
