Comment on the Generalized Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn Sum Rule in Chiral Perturbation Theory

Abstract

I comment on the application of the chiral expansion to generalize the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule for finite Q2. Higher order corrections to the leading order contributions are large when applied to proton and neutron targets separately, and limit the applicability to a very small range in Q2 . However, for the proton-neutron difference the application of chiral perturbation theory may be expanded to significantly higher Q2
