The nuclear-physics landscape has been redesigned as a sequence of effective field
theories (EFTs) connected to the standard model through symmetries and lattice simulations …

We consider the problem of quantifying the uncertainty on theoretical predictions based on
perturbation theory due to missing higher orders. The most widely used approach, scale …

We examine the polarized doubly-virtual Compton scattering (VVCS) off the nucleon using
chiral perturbation theory (χ PT). The polarized VVCS contains a wealth of information on the …

Interpreting measurements requires a physical theory, but the theory's accuracy may vary
across the experimental domain. To optimize experimental design, and so to ensure that the …

Phenomenological amplitudes obtained in partial-wave analyses (PWA) of single-pion
photoproduction are used to evaluate the contribution of this process to the Gerasimov-Drell …

Differential cross sections for Compton scattering from the proton have been measured at
scattering angles of 55°, 90°, and 125° in the laboratory frame using quasimonoenergetic …

We performed the first simultaneous extraction of the six leading-order proton
polarizabilities. We reached this milestone thanks to both new high-quality experimental …

Drawing on recent advances in lattice QCD background-field techniques, the magnetic
polarizability of octet baryons is calculated from the first principles of QCD. The results are …

A workshop on The Next Generation Gamma-Ray Source sponsored by the Office of
Nuclear Physics at the Department of Energy, was held November 17-19, 2016 in Bethesda …

We perform a fit of the real Compton scattering (RCS) data below pion-production threshold
to extract the electric (α E1) and magnetic (β M1) static scalar dipole polarizabilities of the …
