Elusive Neutrons from Nuclei in Effective Field Theory

Nuclear Theory 2010-12-13 v2

Abstract

We review recent computations of neutral pion photoproduction and Compton scattering on the deuteron in baryon chiral perturbation theory. Progress in extracting the neutron electric dipole amplitude, which is relevant in neutral pion photoproduction, and the neutron polarizabilities, which are relevant in Compton scattering, is discussed.
