We computed twist-4 part of the photon spin-flip amplitude in deeply virtual
Compton scattering on a nucleon in the Wandzura-Wilczek approximation. We found
a factorizable contribution, which arises from photon scattering on quarks with
non-zero angular momentum along the collision axis. As the genuine twist-2
amplitude arises at the NLO, for moderate virtualities of the hard photon, Q2β€10 GeV2, kinematical twist-4 correction can give numerically important
contribution to the photon helicity-flip amplitude.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figures, added qualitative estimate of the magnitude of
twist-4 correction which seems to be larg
