Summary
A major part of the future COMPASS program is dedicated to the investigation of the nucleon structure through Generalised Parton Distributions (GPD).
COMPASS will measure DVCS and DVMP reactions with a high intensity muon beam of 160 GeV and a 2.5 m-long liquid hydrogen target surrounded by a new TOF system.
The availability of muon beams with high energy and opposite charge and polarization will allow to access the Compton form factor related to the dominant GPD $H$ and to study the $x_B$-dependence of the $t$-slope of the pure DVCS cross section and to study nucleon tomography.
Projections on the achievable accuracies and preliminary results of pilot measurements will be presented.
