Using EFT to analyze low-energy Compton scattering from protons and light nuclei

چکیده
We discuss the application of an effective field theory (EFT) which incorporates the chiral symmetry of QCD to Compton scattering from the proton and deuteron. We describe the chiral EFT analysis of the γp scattering database presented in our recent review [1], which gives: α E1 = 10.5± 0.5(stat)± 0.8(theory) , β (p) M1 = 2.7± 0.5(stat)± 0.8(theory), for the electric and magnetic dipole polarizability of the proton. We also summarize Ref. [1]’s chiral EFT analysis of the world data on coherent Compton scattering from deuterium, which yields: α E1 = 10.5± 2.0(stat)± 0.8(theory) , β (s) M1 = 3.6± 1.0(stat)± 0.8(theory).

Deuteron Compton Scattering and Electromagnetic Polarizabilities of the Nucleon *
Differential cross section of deuteron Compton scattering has been calculated using the Bonn NN-potential, a consistent set of meson-exchange currents and seagulls, and lowest-and higher-order electromagnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon. Estimates of the polarizabilities of the neutron are obtained from recent experimental data. Photon scattering is a powerful tool for probing the structure...
متن کاملNuclear clusters with Halo Effective Field Theory
At low energies, few-body systems with large scattering length exhibit universal features (universality) that are independent of the interaction details. Some consequences are the existence of a shallow bound state and the Efimov effect1 in the twoand three-body sectors, respectively. These universal properties have a wide range of applications, from particle and nuclear to atomic and molecular...
متن کاملTwo-temperature coronae in active galactic nuclei
We show that coronal magnetic dissipation in thin active sheets that sandwich standard thin accretion disks in active galactic nuclei may account for canonical electron temperatures of a few ×10K if protons acquire most of the dissipated energy. Coulomb collisions transfer energy from the ions to the electrons, which subsequently cool rapidly by inverse-Compton scattering. In equilibrium, the p...

Introduction:In PET imaging, one or both of two annihilation photons may change the direction before reaching the detector due to Compton scattering interaction in body. .Methods:This article, a Monte Carlo simulation study, examined the effect of soft tissue on this error.In this work, the PET BiographTM 6 scanner, a simple geometry of soft tissue -including a sphere of soft tissue in center ...
متن کاملThe response of Geant4 hadronic models to the study of neutrons produced in proton irradiation to the light materials
Neutron is one of the products of the interaction of high energy protons with light nuclei. Using computational Monte Carlo codes, it is possible to calculate and predict the neutron spectrum, neutron flux, and doses by simulating the system. But the use of different hadronic models in this process can influence the results of these calculations. In this research, the response of the four hadro...
