Tóm tắt

We show that the low-energy theorem for the forward Compton amplitude of a stationary composite system in states with nonzero internal orbital angular momentum can only be verified with the use of the FW additive external electromagnetic interaction to order 1/M 3 together with the relativistic c.m. variables to order 1/M 2, contrary to what is usually believed. We also explicitly demonstrate the theorem even when both the constituent particles of the composite system are electrically charged.
