Nuclear DVCS beam-spin asymmetry ALU

We used a simple model of nuclear GPDs in terms of the nucleon GPDs (A. Kirchner and D. Mueller, Eur. Phys. J. C 32, 347 (2003)).
This allowed us to express nuclear CFFs in terms of nucleon CFFs.
The latter are given by the Dual Parameterization of nucleon GPDs (V. Guzey and T. Teckentrup, Phys. Rev. D 74, 054027 (2006)).

Note: The factor of two in the definition/normalization of the GPDs was missing in V. Guzey and T. Teckentrup, Phys. Rev. D 74, 054027 (2006) .
This is corrected in V. Guzey, T. Teckentrup, Phys. Rev. D. 79 , 017501 (2009) [arXiv:0810.3899 [hep-ph]].
The data files below correspond to the corrected predictions.

Combining those nuclear CFFs with the BMK expressions for DVCS asymmetries (A.V. Belitsky, D. Mueller and A. Kirchner, Nucl. Phys. B629 (2002) 323),
we obtained predictions for the ALU nuclear DVCS asymmetry for a wide range of nuclei.

Below are links to the FORTRAN codes allowing to calculate ALU for 4He, 14N, 20Ne, 84Kr and 131Xe for the kinematics covered by the grids for the nucleon CFFs: 0.01 < xB < 0.5, 1 < Q2 < 10 GeV2 and 0.005 < |t| < 1 GeV2, and for a wide range of Ju and Jd, -0.6 < Ju < 0.6 and -1 < Jd < 1.
The energy and the charge of the beam is specified by the user.
All commentaries related to the use of the codes are found in the codes.
