Virtual Compton Scattering off the Proton and Generalized Polarizabilities — •S. Scherer, D. Drechsel, G. Kn"ochlein, and A. Metz — Institut f"ur Kernphysik, Johannes Gutenberg-Universit"at, J.J. Becher Weg 45, D-55099 Mainz
We discuss virtual Compton scattering off the proton as tested in the reaction ep→ epγ. At first order in the frequency of the final photon, the invariant amplitude beyond the low-energy theorem can be expressed in terms of ten generalized polarizabilities [1]. We show that four independent relations exist among the polarizabilities, once charge conjugation symmetry is implemented in combination with nucleon crossing [2]. We present predictions for the generalized polarizabilities which have been obtained in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory at O(p3) [3] and the linear σ model at one-loop level [4].
