Proton spin polarizabilities from polarized Compton scattering

Abstract

Polarized Compton scattering off the proton is studied within the framework of subtracted dispersion relations for photon energies up to 300 MeV. As a guideline for forthcoming experiments, we focus the attention on the role of the proton's spin polarizabilities and investigate the most favorable conditions to extract them with a minimum of model dependence. We conclude that a complete separation of the four spin polarizabilities is possible, at photon energies between threshold and the Δ(1232)\Delta(1232) region, provided one can achieve polarization measurements with an accuracy of a few percent.
