Abstract

We clarify some misleading mistakes in the literature about the phase space for the one-photon production in electron–proton scattering and present the correct overall phase space factor in the cross-section formula. Our conclusion is that the earlier diquark model predictions for the cross-sections of the one-photon production in electron–proton scattering are unreliable. Furthermore, we specify the phase space boundaries. In relation to the recent proposal to measure the off-diagonal quark distribution functions in the deeply virtual Compton scattering off the proton, we point out that the kinematics strongly disfavors such experiments.
