Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering on $^{4}$He with CLAS

The introduction of the Generalized Parton Distribution (GPD) formalism transformed the landscape for probing the deep inelastic structure of hadrons. Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) provides us with the cleanest way of accessing these GPDs. Recent DVCS experiments have mainly focused on proton targets, demonstrating the applicability of the GPD formalism above momentum transfers of $Q^2=2$ GeV$^2$, while relatively less effort has been devoted to the understanding of nuclei in terms of GPDs. Studies of the DVCS process on nuclei can provide us with information on the quark-gluon structure of nuclei, as well as significantly improve our understanding of the modifications of nucleons in the nuclear medium. In this talk we will review the existing data on nuclear DVCS, and will describe the new experiment at Jefferson Lab to measure the Compton form-factor of the helium nucleus.
