2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/192216The Compton scattering cross section on the proton has been measured at laboratory angles of 90$^\circ$ and 135$^\circ$ using tagged photons in the energy range 70--100 MeV and simultaneously using untagged photons in the range 100--148~MeV. With the aid of dispersion relations, these cross sections were used to extract the electric and magnetic polarizabilities, $\barα$ and $\barβ$ respectively, of the proton. We find $$\barα+\barβ = ( 15.0 \pm 2.9 \pm 1.1 \pm 0.4 ) \times 10^{-4} \: {\rm fm}^3,$$ in agreement with a model-independent dispersion sum rule, and $$\barα-\barβ = ( 10.8 \pm 1.1 \pm 1.4 \pm 1.0 ) \times 10^{-4} \: {\rm fm}^3,$$ where the errors shown are statistical, systematic, and model-dependent, respectively. A comparison with previous experiments is given and global values for the polarizabilities are extracted.35 pages, 11 PostScript figures, uses RevTex 3.0Nuclear ExperimentHigh Energy Physics - ExperimentMeasurement of the Electric and Magnetic Polarizabilities of the Protontext
