Deuteron Compton scattering below pion photoproduction threshold

Abstract

Deuteron Compton scattering below pion photoproduction threshold is considered in the framework of the non-relativistic diagrammatic approach with the Bonn OBE potential. The complete gauge-invariant set of diagrams is taken into account which includes resonance diagrams without and with rescattering and diagrams with one- and two-body seagulls. The obtained results are compared with predictions of other models and with experimental data. A possibility of determining isospin-averaged electromagnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon is discussed.
