We generalize the sum rules for the nucleon electric plus magnetic polarizability $\Sigma=\alpha+\beta$ and for the nucleon spin-polarizability $\gamma$, to virtual photons with $Q^2>0$. The dominant low energy cross sections are…

We report new measurements of inclusive pion production from frozen-spin HD for polarized photon beams covering the Delta(1232) resonance. These provide data simultaneously on both H and D with nearly complete angular distributions of the…
We show that the Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum rule for the nucleon is entirely saturated by the \Delta resonance in the limit of a large number of colors, N_c \to \infty. Corrections are at relative order 1/N_c^2.

We revisit the photo-absorption sum rule for real Compton scattering from the proton and from nuclear targets. In analogy with the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn sum rule appropriate at low energies, we propose a new "constituent quark model" sum rule…

We derive two sum rules by studying the low energy Compton scattering on a target of arbitrary (nonzero) spin j. In the first sum rule, we consider the possibility that the intermediate state in the scattering can have spin |j \pm 1| and…

Gamow-Teller transitions in nuclei tell us that the nucleon's axial charge $g_A^{(3)}$ is quenched in large nuclei by about 20%. This result tells us that the spin structure of the nucleon is modified in nuclei and disfavours models of the…
