At the superconducting Darmstadt electron linear accelerator S-DALINAC an experiment is built up to measure the electric and magnetic polarizability of the nucleon with low energy Compton scattering. A new experimental method will be used for determination of the energy dependence of the differential cross section of elastic γ p scattering in a model-independent way in the energy range of bremsstrahlung photons of 20 - 120 MeV with a precision ≤1% in relative measurements. A narrow collimated bremsstrahlung beam enters a high pressure ionisation chamber filled with hydrogen (deuterium), which acts as target as well as detector gas. Two large volume NaI-spectrometers (10No−dq×14No−dq), which will detect the Compton scattered photons under two different angles (90∘ and 130∘) serve as triggers for a coincident measurement of the energy and the angle of the recoiled nucleons in the ionisation chamber.
Recent results and the current status of the experiment will be presented.
