Title: Pion polarizabilities from a γ γ π π analysis

Abstract

Here, we present results for pion polarizabilities predicted using dispersion relations from our earlier Amplitude Analysis of world data on two photon production of meson pairs. The helicity-zero polarizabilities are rather stable and insensitive to uncertainties in cross-channel exchanges. The need is first to confirm the recent result on $$(\alpha_1-\beta_1)$$ for the charged pion by COMPASS at CERN to an accuracy of 10% by measuring the $$\gamma\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-$$ cross-section to an uncertainty of ~1\%. Then the same polarizability, but for the $$\pi^0$$, is fixed to be $$(\alpha_1-\beta_1)_{\pi^0}=(0.9\pm0.2)\times 10^{-4}$$ fm$$^{3}$$. By analyzing the correlation between uncertainties in the meson polarizability and those in $$\gamma\gamma$$ cross-sections, we suggest experiments need to measure these cross-sections between $$\sqrt{s}\simeq 350$$ and 600~MeV. The $$\pi^0\pi^0$$ cross-section then makes the $$(\alpha_2-\beta_2)_{\pi^0}$$ the easiest helicity-two polarizability to determine.
