Abstract
Using deeply virtual Compton scattering as a tool to study the structure of hadrons in an exclusive process, one expresses the amplitudes in terms of invariant quantities: the Compton form factors. In this paper the sensitivity of the hadronic part of the cross section to the Compton form factors is determined.
