Abstract
The low-energy theorem for the forward Compton scattering is generalized to the case of an arbitrary target spin. The generalization is used to calculate the corresponding contribution to the deuterium hyperfine structure. The nuclear-structure corrections are quite essential in this case due to the deuteron large size. Corrections of this type calculated here remove the discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental values of the deuterium hyperfine splitting. Explicit analytical result is obtained also for the deuteron polarizability contribution to the Lamb shift.
