The E12-06-119 proposal focuses on Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) at 12 GeV, aiming to measure Beam Spin and Target Spin Asymmetries with high precision over the CLAS12 kinematic range. Utilizing innovative methods, including harmonic analysis, the experiment seeks to extract both the imaginary and real parts of Compton Form Factors (CFFs) from polarized proton targets. With 80 days of beam time for unpolarized LH2 and 120 days for polarized NH3, this project aims for unprecedented accuracy and will provide critical insights into the nucleon structure and generalized parton distributions (GPDs).
