Abstract
The scalar and tensor polarizabilities of the deuteron are calculated using the recently developed effective field theory that describes nucleon-nucleon interactions. Leading and next-to-leading order contributions in the perturbative expansion predict a scalar electric polarizability of α e0 = 0.595 fm 3. The tensor electric polarizability receives contributions starting at next-to-leading order from the exchange of a single potential pion and is found to be α e2 = −0.062 fm 3. We compute the leading contributions to the scalar and tensor magnetic polarizabilities, finding β m0 = 0.067 fm 3 and β m2 = 0.195 fm 3.
