We compute the Compton scattering off the nucleons in the framework of manifestly covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory (B$\chi$PT). The results for observables differ substantially from the corresponding calculations in heavy-baryon…
The generalized Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) sum rule is known to be very sensitive to QCD radiative and power corrections. We improve the previously developed QCD-inspired model for the $Q^2$-dependence of the GDH sum rule. We take into…
We calculate the leading direct-instanton contributions to the operator product expansion of the nucleon correlator in a magnetic background field and set up improved QCD sum rules for the nucleon magnetic moments. Remarkably, the instanton…
In a general framework that has been labeled the ``gauging of equations method'', we study the diagrams that contribute to Compton scattering off a relativistic composite system. These contributions can be derived for $N$--particle bound…
Charge asymmetry in electron (positron) scattering arises from the interference of the Born amplitude and the box-type amplitude corresponding to two virtual photons exchange. It can be extracted from electron proton and positron proton…
First measurement of the beam asymmetry $\Sigma$ for Compton scattering off the proton in the energy range $E_{\gamma}=0.85 - 1.25$ GeV is presented. The data reveals two narrow structures at $E_{\gamma}= 1.036$ and $E_{\gamma}=1.119$ GeV.…
The static-response function of strongly interacting neutron matter contains crucial information on this interacting many-particle system, going beyond ground-state properties. In the present work, we tackle this problem with quantum Monte…
We consider an ionic fluid made with two species of mobile particles carrying either a positive or a negative charge. We derive a sum rule for the fourth moment of equilibrium charge correlations. Our method relies on the study of the…
Possible influence of the weak interaction on the $\mu^+ + \mu^- \to \mu^+ + \mu^- $ scattering and the $\mu^+ + \mu^- \to e^+ + e^- $ reaction, both through the neutral lepton currents and the charged ones (in the second order on weak…

The Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule is one of several dispersive sum rules that connect the Compton scattering amplitudes to the inclusive photoproduction cross sections of the target under investigation. Being based on such universal…
Compton scattering provides important insight into the structure of the nucleon. For photons up to about 300 MeV, it is parameterised by six dynamical dipole polarisabilities which characterise the response of the nucleon to a monochromatic…
