DVCS on spinless nuclear targets in impulse approximation

Within the impulse approximation, we derive expressions for the amplitude of deeply virtual Compton scattering on spinless nuclei in terms of the generalized parton distributions of the nucleon. As an application, nuclear effects in the beam-charge and single-spin asymmetries are discussed.
