Compton scattering in the Endpoint Model

Abstract

We use the Endpoint model for exclusive hadronic processes to study Compton scattering of the proton. The parameters of the Endpoint model are fixed using the data for $F_1$ and the ratio of Pauli and Dirac form factors ($F_2/F_1$) and then used to get numerical predictions for the differential scattering cross section. We studied the Compton scattering at fixed $\theta_{CM}$ in the $s \sim t \gg \Lambda_{QCD}$ limit and at fixed $s$ much larger than $t$ limit. We observed that the calculations in the Endpoint Model give a good fit with experimental data in both regions.
