Prospects for Generalized Parton Distributions studies at COMPASS

The measurement of generalized parton distributions will allow to obtain a three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure. They can be probed in hard exclusive meson scattering and deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS). This paper presents the required modifications of the COMPASS experiment for the DVCS measurement. In addition, simulations have been performed to show the ability to distinguish between different models. Hard exclusive meson scattering is studied in the current setup, while DVCS could be measured in the future in a modified setup.
