Description

Deeply virtual electroproduction of neutral pions has emerged as an important experimental channel for exploring the proton’s structure through deeply virtual exclusive reactions. In this talk, I will present new measurements of deeply virtual π^0 electroproduction based on a comprehensive analysis of data covering a wide kinematic range in Q2 and Bjorken x that are accessible at the CLAS12 experiment at Jefferson Laboratory. The results are obtained from high-statistics data in the valence-quark region and include detailed measurements of exclusive cross sections and their kinematic dependences. The broad phase-space coverage enables systematic studies across kinematic variables and provides a consistent experimental benchmark for deeper understanding of nucleon structure.
These measurements significantly extend existing experimental knowledge of neutral pion electroproduction and demonstrate the capabilities of modern exclusive measurements over a wide kinematic domain.
