文摘

This paper describes the Monte Carlo simulation developed specifically for the Virtual Compton Scattering (VCS) experiments below pion threshold that have been performed at MAMI and JLab. This simulation generates events according to the (Bethe–Heitler + Born) cross-section behaviour and takes into account all relevant resolution-deteriorating effects. It determines the “effective” solid angle for the various experimental settings which are used for the precise determination of the photon electroproduction absolute cross-section.
