Gamma-Deuteron Compton Scattering in Effective Field Theory

Journal Article · · Nuclear Physics, A
OSTI ID:837873
The differential cross section for {gamma}-deuteron Compton scattering is computed to next-to-leading order (NLO) in an effective field theory that describes nucleon-nucleon interactions below the pion production threshold. Contributions at NLO include the nucleon isoscalar electric polarizability from its 1/m{sub {pi}} behavior in the chiral limit. The parameter free prediction of the {gamma}-deuteron differential cross section at NLO is in good agreement with data.
