  2. E B Motivation a, b- electric and magnetic polarizabilities m = bB d = aE describe the response of the nucleon internal structure to applied electric and magnetic fields V. Olmos de Leon et al., Eur. Phys. J. 10 (2001) 207 M. Lundin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 90 (2003) 192501 Goal: better accuracy of these constants 10.03.2008 | Institut für Kernphysik | TU Darmstadt | Olena Yevetska | 2

  3. Point t ~ a+b a-b Motivation Low energy Compton scattering ( E < 140 MeV) Low Energy Theorem: Powell cross section for the point like proton with anomalous magnetic moment Structure term Terms of higher order structure constants V.
