Abstract
Proc. of DIS 2012, 983-986; DESY
AWe review recent progress in the study of timelike Compton scattering
(TCS), the crossed process of deeply virtual Compton scattering. We
emphasize the need to include NLO corrections to any phenomenological
program to extract Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) from near
future experimental data. We point out that TCS at high energy should
be available through a study of ultraperipheral collisions at RHIC
and LHC, opening a window on quark and gluon GPDs at very small skewness.
