Sumario:The high energies available at CERN and the option of using either positive or negative polarized muon beams make the xed-target COMPASS set-up a unique place for studying GPDs through Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS). The impact of a one-year dedicated run is examined. Preliminary beam test data were analyzed and demonstrated the feasibility of such an experiment. This initiative is part of a Letter of Intent [2] for the Medium and Long Term Plans at COMPASS.
