Dipole polarizabilities of charged pions

Abstract

We discuss main experimental works, where dipole polarizabilities of charged pions have been determined. Possible reasons for the differences between the experimental data are discussed. In particular, it is shown that the account of the σ-meson gives a significant correction to the value of the polarizability obtained in the latest experiment of the COMPASS collaboration.
