Strange form factors and Chiral Perturbation Theory

We review the contributions of Chiral Perturbation Theory to the theoretical understanding or not-quite-yet-understanding of the nucleon matrix elements of the strange vector current.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, presented at the International Workshop on Parity Violation and Hadronic Structure (PAVI04), Grenoble, France, 8-11 Jun 200

Generalized Polarizabilities of the Nucleon in Chiral Effective Theories

Using the techniques of chiral effective field theories we evaluate the so called generalized polarizabilities of the nucleon, which characterize the structure dependent components in virtual Compton scattering (VCS) as probed in the electron scattering reaction e N \to e' N gamma. Results are given for both spin-dependent and spin-independent structure effects to O(p^3) in SU(2) Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory and to O(epsilon^3) in the SU(2) Small Scale Expansion. Finally we compare our calculations with results from the pioneering VCS experiment on the proton from Mainz.Comment: 39 pages, 12 figures, revte

Compton Scattering and the Spin Structure of the Nucleon at Low Energies

We analyze polarized Compton scattering which provides information on the spin-structure of the nucleon. For scattering processes with photon energies up to 100 MeV the spin-structure dependence can be encoded into four independent parameters-the so-called spin-polarizabilities $\gamma_i, i=1...4$ of the nucleon, which we calculate within the framework of the "small scale expansion" in SU(2) baryon chiral perturbation theory. Specific application is made to "forward" and "backward" spin- polarizabilities.Comment: 8 pages revtex file, separation between pion-pole and regular contributions detailed + minor wording changes, results and conclusions unchange
