Abstract

The theory of deuteron Compton scattering developed previously (Phys. Rev. C 38, 611 (1988)) is reviewed and corrected in some minor points. Numerical results are presented and compared with other theoretical approaches. In particular, I now find reasonable agreement with a previous dispersion theoretical analysis of this process. I also get good agreement with low-energy parameters calculated elsewhere. I present predictions for angular distribution cross sections at a number of energies. These are of particular interest, since experiments at these energies are presently under way. I also investigate the influence of the spin-orbit correction to the current operator on the Compton amplitude.
