Abstract:
We report a Virtual Compton Scattering study of the proton at low CM energies. We have determined the structure functions and , and the electric and magnetic Generalized Polarizabilities (GPs) and at momentum transfer Q2= 0.92 and 1.76 GeV2. The electric GP shows a strong fall-off with Q2, and its global behavior does not follow a simple dipole form. The magnetic GP shows a rise and then a fall-off: this can be interpreted as the dominance of a long-distance diamagnetic pion cloud at low Q2, compensated at higher Q2 by a paramagnetic contribution from intermediate states.Note:
