Nucleon Magnetic Moments and Electric Polarizabilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electromagnetic properties of the nucleon are explored with lattice QCD using a novel technique. Focusing on background electric fields, we show how the electric polarizability can be extracted from nucleon correlation functions. A crucial step concerns addressing contributions from the magnetic moment, which affects the relativistic propagation of nucleons in electric fields. By properly handing these contributions, we can determine both magnetic moments and electric polarizabilities. Lattice results from anisotropic clover lattices are presented. Our method is not limited to the neutron; we show results for the proton as well.

Some electromagnetic properties of the nucleon from Relativistic Chiral Effective Field Theory ∗
Considering the magnetic moment and polarizabilities of the nucleon we emphasize the need for relativistic chiral EFT calculations. Our relativistic calculations are done via the forward-Compton-scattering sum rules, thus ensuring the correct analytic properties. The results obtained in this way are equivalent to the usual loop calculations, provided no heavy-baryon expansion or any other manip...
متن کاملCompton Scattering and Generalized Polarizabilities
In recent years, real and virtual Compton scattering off the nucleon have attracted considerable interest from both the experimental and theoretical sides. Real Compton scattering gives access to the so-called electromagnetic polarizabilities containing the structure information beyond the global properties of the nucleon such as its charge, mass, and magnetic moment. These polarizabilities hav...

متن کاملSpin Polarizabilities of the Nucleon
With recent progress in developing and using effective field theories, a practical knowledge of various low-energy parameters of hadrons and their interactions becomes of high current interest. Among such parameters are the dipole electric and magnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon, αE and βM , and the so-called spin (or vector) polarizabilities γE1, γM1, γE2, γM2. They characterize a lowener...
متن کاملResponse of nucleons to external probes in hedgehog models. I. Electromagnetic polarizabilities.
Electromagnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon are analyzed in a hedgehog model with quark and meson degrees of freedom. Semiclassical methods are used (linear response theory, quantization via cranking). It is found that in hedgehog models (Skyrmion, chiral quark models, Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model), the average electric polarizability of the nucleon, αN , is of the order Nc, and the splitting o...
