Asymptotic properties of DVCS

Abstract

We compute the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) amplitude for forward and backward scattering in the asymptotic limit. We make use of the Regge calculus to resum important logarithmic contributions that are beyond those included by the DGLAP evolution. We find a power-like behavior for the forward DVCS amplitude.
