Abstract
The differential cross section for gamma-deuteron Compton scattering is com puted to next-to-leading order (NLO) in an effective field theory that desc ribes nucleon-nucleon interactions below the pion production threshold. Con tributions at NLO include the nucleon isoscalar electric polarizability fro m its 1/m(pi) behavior in the chiral limit. The parameter-free prediction o f the gamma-deuteron differential cross section at NLO is in good agreement with data. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
