Compton scattering by pion: there is no room for the off-shell effects

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show that the off-shell contributions in Compton scattering by pion may exist only in the single exchange diagrams. These contributions are canceled completely in the total gauge-invariant amplitude as it confirmed by one-loop calculations. It explains, in particular, some results of the chiral pertubation theory in the order p4p^4 but this cancelation has no relation to chiral symmetry.
