Generalized polarizabilities of the nucleon studied in the linear sigma model (II)
Abstract
In a previous paper virtual Compton scattering off the nucleon has been investigated in the one-loop approximation of the linear sigma model in order to determine the 3 scalar generalized polarizabilities. We have now extended this work and calculated the 7 vector polarizabilities showing up in the spin-dependent amplitude of virtual Compton scattering. The results fulfill 3 model-independent constraints recently derived. Compared to the constituent quark model there exist enormous differences for some of the vector polarizabilities. At vanishing three-momentum of the virtual photon, the analytical results of the sigma model and of chiral perturbation theory can be related. The influence of the $π^{0}$ exchange in the $t$ channel has been discussed in some detail. Besides, the vector polarizabilities determine 2 linear combinations of the third order spin-polarizabilities appearing in real Compton scattering.
