abstract = "We report on the first measurement of exclusive single-photon muoproduction on the proton by COMPASS using 160GeV/cpolarised μ+ and μ- beams of the CERN SPS impinging on a liquid hydrogen target. We determine the dependence of the average of the measured μ+ and μ- cross sections for deeply virtual Compton scattering on the squared four-momentum transfer t from the initial to the final proton. The slope B of the t-dependence is fitted with a single exponential function, which yields B = (4.3 ± 0.6stat+0.1-0.3]sys) (GeV/c)-2. This result can be converted into a transverse extension of partons in the proton, √〈r2⊥〉 = (0.58 ± 0.04stat+0.01-0.02]sys ± 0.04model) fm. For this measurement, the average virtuality of the photon mediating the interaction is 〈Q2〉 = 1.8 (GeV/c)2 and the average value of the Bjorken variable is 〈xBj〉 = 0.056.",
