for the GPD calculati<strong>on</strong>s, the two-phot<strong>on</strong> exchange effects increase very slowly with Q 2 . Interestingly, the<br />
pQCD calculati<strong>on</strong>s show the opposite: a slight decrease of the two-phot<strong>on</strong> effects with Q 2 .<br />

Table 1: The kinematics of the proposed data points.<br />
Because of the importance of the precise measurements at high Q 2 , we decided to have <strong>on</strong>e precise<br />
measurement at 14.5 GeV 2 (instead of two neighboring points at 13 and 15 GeV 2 as in the original proposal)<br />
and two points at about 5 and 10 GeV 2 . This will be achieved by reducing the horiz<strong>on</strong>tal sizes of the<br />
detectors and thus, effectively reducing the Q 2 acceptance, but increasing the vertical aceptance and the<br />
event rates per unit Q 2 interval, while keeping the detector area and the number of channels the same.<br />
The optimized acceptance and use of beam time provides more power to discriminate am<strong>on</strong>g different<br />
theoretical predicti<strong>on</strong>s, while keeping the same total beam time as in the original proposal. The kinematical<br />
quantities and anticipated errors for these points are summarized in Table 1. Including four days for optical<br />
and spin transport studies, we have in total 60 days of beam <strong>on</strong> target, as it was requested in the approved<br />
experiment <strong>E12</strong>-<strong>07</strong>-<strong>109</strong>.<br />
