Spacelike vs. Timelike Processes Muller et al., PRD 86 (2012) 031502 23 Deeply Virtual Meson Production Exclusive Meson-induced Drell-Yan Cross sections of exclusive DY process drop with an increase of beam energy. No sensitivity to parton d.o.f. if beam energy is small. The beam energy of pions at J-PARC at 10-20 GeV might be most ideal for studying this hard exclusive process.
