We investigate the rare radiative eta decay modes $\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma\gamma$ and $\eta\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma\gamma$ within the framework of chiral perturbation theory at $O(p^4)$. We present photon spectra and partial decay rates for both…
Virtual Compton scattering off nucleons and pions at low energies is discussed. Predictions for the generalized polarizabilities of the nucleon are presented within the framework of heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory and the linear…
We investigate the rare radiative eta decay modes eta -> pi+ pi- gamma gamma and eta -> pi0 pi0 gamma gamma within the framework of chiral lagrangians at o(p^4) and present photon spectra for both processes.
We discuss the virtual Compton scattering reaction $e^-p\to e^-p\gamma$ at low energies. We present results for the generalized polarizabilities of the nucleon obtained in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory at $O(p^3)$.
The low energy virtual Compton scattering process $eN\to e'N\gamma$ offers a new and potentially high resolution window on nucleon sturcture via measurement of so-called generalized polarizabilities (GPs). We present calculations of GPs…
We present a projector formalism which allows to define dynamical polarizabilities of the nucleon from a multipole expansion of the nucleon Compton amplitudes. We give predictions for the energy dependence of these dynamical…
We give an overview of low-energy Compton scattering (gamma^(*) p --> gamma p) with a real or virtual incoming photon. These processes allow the investigation of one of the fundamental properties of the nucleon, i.e. how its internal…
Fixed-$t$ subtracted dispersion relations are presented for Compton scattering off the nucleon at energies $E_\gamma \leq 500$ MeV, as a formalism to extract the nucleon polarizabilities from the data with a minimum of model dependence. The…
We review theoretical progress and prospects for determining the nucleon's static dipole polarisabilities from Compton scattering on few-nucleon targets, including new values; see Refs. [1-5] for details and a more thorough bibliography.
We present a calculation of the virtual Compton scattering amplitude for $\gamma^\ast+\pi\to \gamma+\pi$ in the framework of chiral perturbation theory at ${\cal O}(p^4)$. We explicitly derive expressions for generalized electromagnetic…
An overview is given of Chiral Perturbation Theory and various applications to eta decays. In particular, the main decay $\eta\to3\pi$ is discussed at the one-loop level, and estimates of the higher order corrections are given. The…
Below pion threshold virtual Compton scattering off the nucleon gives access to the generalized electromagnetic polarizabilities. Different theoretical results for the generalized polarizabilities have been compared. In particular, the…
We investigate the spin-independent part of the virtual Compton scattering (VCS) amplitude off the nucleon within the framework of chiral perturbation theory. We perform a consistent calculation to third order in external momenta according…
The electric ($\alpha_\pi$) and magnetic ($\beta_\pi$) Compton polarizabilities of both the charged and the neutral pion are of fundamental interest in the low-energy sector of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Pion polarizabilities affect the…
We discuss the virtual Compton scattering amplitude $\gamma^\ast+\pi\to \gamma+\pi$ which enters the reaction $\pi^-+e^-\to\pi^-+e^-+\gamma$. The low-energy scattering amplitude is divided into a model-independent part, involving only the…
Based on Compton scattering and meson photoproduction data the polarizabilities of the nucleon are precisely studied and well understood due to recent experimental and theoretical work based on nonsubtracted dispersion relations. The {\it…
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…
I give a summary of recent results on nucleon polarizabilities, with emphasis on chiral perturbation theory. The predictive calculations of Compton scattering off the nucleon are compared to recent empirical determinations and lattice QCD…
Proton Compton scattering is analyzed with the chiral Lagrangian. Partial-wave amplitudes are obtained by an analytic extrapolation of subthreshold reaction amplitudes computed in chiral perturbation theory, where the constraints set by…
We formulate a new power-counting scheme for a chiral effective field theory of nucleons, pions, and Deltas. This extends chiral perturbation theory into the Delta-resonance region. We calculate nucleon Compton scattering up to…
