QCD Sum Rules and Compton Scattering

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v1

Abstract

We extend QCD sum rule analysis to moderate energy fixed angle Compton scattering. In this kinematic region there is a strong similarity to the sum rule treatment of electromagnetic form factors, although the four-point amplitude requires a modification of the Borel transform. To illustrate our method, we derive the sum rules for helicity amplitudes in pion Compton scattering and estimate their large-tt behavior in the local duality approximation.
