Abstract

We present a calculation of the cross section and the event generator of the reaction [Formula Presented] This reaction is sensitive to the pion generalized dipole polarizabilities, namely, the longitudinal electric [Formula Presented] the transverse electric [Formula Presented] and the magnetic [Formula Presented] which, in the real-photon limit, reduce to the ordinary electric and magnetic polarizabilities [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] respectively. The calculation of the cross section is done in the framework of chiral perturbation theory at [Formula Presented] A pion virtual Compton scattering event generator has been written which is ready for implementation in GEANT simulation codes or for independent use.
