Abstract
The scalar and tensor polarizabilities of the deuteron are calculated using the recently developed effective field theory that describes nucleon-nucleon interactions. Leading and next-to-leading order contributions in the perturbative expansion predict a scalar electric polarizability of 0.595 fm^3. The tensor electric polarizability receives contributions starting at next-to-leading order from the exchange of a single potential pion and is found to be -0.062 fm^3. We compute the leading contributions to the scalar and tensor magnetic polarizabilities, finding 0.067 fm^3 and 0.195 fm^3, respectively.
