Probing the effectiveness: chiral perturbation theory calculations of low-energy reactions on the deuteron
Abstract
I provide a brief, and therefore necessarily biased, review of the application of effective field theory to electromagnetic processes on the deuteron. Electron-deuteron scattering is discussed for virtual photon momenta up to 700 MeV, and photon-deuteron scattering is examined for incident photon energies of order the pion mass.
