Virtual Compton Scattering from the Proton and the Properties of Nucleon Excited States

G. Q. Liu, A. W. Thomas, P. A. M. Guichon

We calculate the $N^{\ast }$ contributions to the generalized polarizabilities of the proton in virtual Compton scattering. The following nucleon excitations are included: $N^{\ast }(1535)$, $…
