| contents | We calculate the kinematic twist-3 and 4 corrections to the leading order amplitude of timelike Compton scattering (TCS) on a (pseudo-)scalar target, in the recently developed framework based on the conformal operator-product expansion. This allows us to compute the complete set of helicity amplitudes of the process, in particular those that vanish at leading twist. We compare the effects of higher twist contributions to TCS with those in deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS). Our estimates, based on a $π$-meson GPD model, indicate that these contributions are sizeable and will play a crucial role in the interpretation of data from current and forthcoming experiments. |
