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…
Virtual Compton scattering off the nucleon (VCS) is studied in the regime of low energy of the outgoing real photon. This regime allows one to directly access the generalized polarizabilities of the nucleon in a VCS experiment. In the…
We discuss the low-energy behavior of the virtual Compton scattering amplitude off a spin-zero target. We first compare various methods of obtaining a low-energy expression based either on the soft-photon approximation or the use of…
In recent years, real and virtual Compton scattering off the nucleon have attracted considerable interest from both the experimental and theoretical sides. Real Compton scattering gives access to the so-called electromagnetic…
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…
These lectures give a pedagogical introduction to real and virtual Compton scattering at low energies. We will first discuss real Compton scattering off a point particle as well as a composite system in the framework of nonrelativistic…
A microscopic calculation of Compton scattering on the nucleon is presented which encompasses the lowest energies -- yielding nucleon polarizabilities -- and extends to energies of the order of 600 MeV. We have used the covariant "Dressed…
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…
Virtual Compton Scattering on the nucleon: $\gamma^* N \to \gamma N$ is a new and rapidly developing field at low and high energies. This lecture is about the low energy part, i.e. for energies in the $(\gamma p)$ center-of-mass mainly up…
We formulate the low energy theorem for virtual Compton scattering off a nucleon and examine its consequences for generalized nucleon polarizabilites. As a result of a new, model independent definition of the low energy limit for VVCS…
We perform an expansion of the virtual Compton scattering amplitude for low energies and low momenta and show that this expansion covers the transition from the regime to be investigated in the scheduled photon electroproduction experiments…
This review gives an update on virtual Compton scattering (VCS) off the nucleon, $\gamma^* N \to N \gamma$, in the low-energy regime. We recall the theoretical formalism related to the generalized polarizabilities (GPs) and model…
Virtual Compton Scattering off the proton: gamma* p to gamma p, is a new field of investigation of nucleon structure. Several dedicated experiments have been performed at low c.m. energy and various momentum transfers, yielding specific…
We present fixed-$t$ subtracted dispersion relations for Compton scattering off the nucleon at energies $E_\gamma \leq$ 500 MeV, as a formalism to extract the nucleon polarizabilities with a minimum of model dependence. The subtracted…
Virtual Compton scattering off the nucleon has been studied in the one-loop approximation of the linear sigma model. The three generalized polarizabilities of the nucleon have been calculated and compared with the existing theoretical…
The general structure of the cross section of $\gamma N$ scattering with polarized photon and/or nucleon in initial and/or final state is systematically described and exposed through invariant amplitudes. A low-energy expansion of the cross…
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…
The dispersive representation of the virtual Compton forward scattering amplitude has been recently reexamined in connection with the evaluation of the Cottingham formula for the proton-neutron electromagnetic mass difference. The most…
We investigate the low-energy behavior of the four-point Green's function $\Gamma^{\mu\nu}$ describing virtual Compton scattering off the nucleon. Using Lorentz invariance, gauge invariance, and crossing symmetry, we derive the leading…
We discuss the low-energy behavior of the spin-averaged amplitude of virtual Compton scattering (VCS) off a nucleon. Based on gauge invariance, Lorentz invariance and the discrete symmetries, it is shown that to first order in the frequency…
