Abstract

Absolute cross sections for Compton scattering from protons have been determined at 180° for the backscattered photon at incident laboratory photon energies of 98 and 132 MeV. For the difference between the electric and the magnetic polarizability of the proton a value of (7.03 −2.37+2.492.05+2.14) × 10−4 fm3 has been derived using the predictions from calculations based on relativistic dispersion relations.

      The concept of polarizabilities, common in optics and classical electrodynamics, was extended to the nucleon in the 1950s [1,2], together with the first observations of Compton scattering (CS) on the proton [3–8]. Since then, the CS process, with real (RCS) or virtual (VCS) photons, became the main experimental tool in studying the nucleon polarizabilities, with dedicated experiments completed at: Lebedev Institute (Moscow) [8,9], MUSL (Illinois) [10], SAL (Saskatoon) [11,12], LEGS (Brookhaven) [13], Bates (MIT) [14], MaxLab (Lund) [15], MAMI (Mainz) [16–22], and Jefferson Laboratory (Virginia) [23].
