The MIT Libraries is completing a major upgrade to DSpace@MIT. Starting May 5 2026, DSpace will remain functional, viewable, searchable, and downloadable, however, you will not be able to edit existing collections or add new material. We are aiming to have full functionality restored by May 18, 2026 but intermittent service interruptions may occur. Please email dspace-lib@mit.edu with any questions. Thank you for your patience as we implement this important upgrade.

Abstract

Virtual Compton scattering (VCS) on the proton has been studied at the Jefferson Laboratory using the exclusive photon electroproduction reaction ep→epγ. This paper gives a detailed account of the analysis which has led to the determination of the structure functions P[subscript LL]−P[subscript TT]/ε and P[subscript LT] and the electric and magnetic generalized polarizabilities (GPs) α[subscript E](Q[superscript 2]) and β[subscript M](Q[superscript 2]) at values of the four-momentum transfer squared Q[superscript 2]=0.92 and 1.76 GeV[superscript 2]. These data, together with the results of VCS experiments at lower momenta, help building a coherent picture of the electric and magnetic GPs of the proton over the full measured Q[superscript 2] range and point to their nontrivial behavior.
