TY - JOUR AU - Dai, Lingyun AU - Pennington, M. R. TI - Pion polarizabilities from a γ γ → π π analysis JO - Physical review / D VL - 94 IS - 11 SN - 2470-0010 CY - Woodbury, NY PB - Inst. M1 - FZJ-2017-00457 SP - 116021 PY - 2016 AB - We present results for pion polarizabilities predicted using dispersion relations from our earlier amplitude analysis of world data on two photon production of meson pairs. The helicity-zero polarizabilities are rather stable and insensitive to uncertainties in cross-channel exchanges. The need is first to confirm the recent result on (α1−β1) for the charged pion by COMPASS at CERN to an accuracy of 10% by measuring the γγ→π+π− cross section to an uncertainty of 1%. Then the same polarizability, but for π0, is fixed to be (α1−β1)π0=(0.9±0.2)×10−4 fm3. By analyzing the correlation between uncertainties in the meson polarizability and those in γγ cross sections, we suggest experiments need to measure these cross sections between √s≃350 and 600 MeV. The π0π0 cross section then makes the (α2−β2)π0 the easiest helicity-two polarizability to determine.
