Abstract
Deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) is the simplest hard exclusive process to access generalized parton distributions (GPDs). In the case of a neutron this process is mostly sensitive to E, the least constrained GPD, which enters Ji's sum rule linking GPDs to the total quark angular momentum. We present the first dedicated DVCS experiment on the neutron which took place in the Hall A of Jefferson Lab in fall 2004. Experimental setup and preliminary results are discussed.
