Dispersion analysis for generalized spin polarizabilities
arXiv:hep-ph/0009239 · doi:10.1142/9789812811448_0026
Abstract
We report on a dispersion relation formalism for the virtual Compton scattering (VCS) reaction on the proton, which for the first time allows a dispersive evaluation of 4 generalized polarizabilities. The dispersion formalism provides a new tool to analyze VCS experiments above pion threshold, thus increasing the sensitivity to the generalized polarizabilities of the nucleon.
