Compton Scattering on the Deuteron in Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory

Nuclear Theory 2009-04-17 v1

Abstract

Compton scattering on the deuteron is studied in the framework of baryon chiral perturbation theory to third order in small momenta, for photon energies of order the pion mass. The scattering amplitude is a sum of one- and two-nucleon mechanisms with no undetermined parameters. Our results are in good agreement with existing experimental data, and a prediction is made for higher-energy data being analyzed at SAL.
