Summary
The Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) has been very successful in describing low-energy hadronic properties in the non-perturbative regime of Quantum Chromodynamics. The results of ChPT, many of which are currently under active experimental investigation, provide stringent predictions of many fundamental properties of hadrons, including quantities such as electromagnetic polarizabilities.
The talk describes our semi-automated calculation methods in ChPT, the corresponding results for the electric and magnetic dynamical polarizabilities of the SU(3) hadron octet and our predictions for Compton and Primakoff cross sections.
