2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/179539The differential cross section for gamma-deuteron Compton scattering is computed to next-to-leading order (NLO) in an effective field theory that describes nucleon-nucleon interactions below the pion production threshold. Contributions at NLO include the nucleon isoscalar electric polarizability from its 1/m_pi behavior in the chiral limit. The parameter free prediction of the gamma-deuteron differential cross section at NLO is in good agreement with data.16 pages, 7 figures as 8 eps files, latexNuclear TheoryHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
