Compton scattering off nucleons near threshold

The energy dependence of the magnetic polarizability β has been evaluated by use of the delta resonance in the s- and u-channel of the Compton scattering amplitude. It was the idea to extract the influence of higher order terms (higher than ω2, ω = |k| being the photon energy) in the analysis of the polarizability. The static paramagnetic polarizability βPara(0) has been substituted by an energy dependent βδPara(k) and the result is compared with experimental data.
