Compton scattering in the Endpoint Model

We use the Endpoint Model for exclusive hadronic processes to study experimentally observed scaling behaviour in Compton scattering of the proton. The parameters of the Endpoint Model are fixed using the data for the Dirac form factor F₁(Q²) and the ratio of Pauli and Dirac form factors F₂(Q²)/F₁(Q²) and then used to obtain numerical predictions for the differential scattering cross section. We study the Compton scattering at fixed θ_CM in the s ∝ vertical stroke t vertical stroke >> Λ_QCD regime and at fixed s much larger than vertical stroke t vertical stroke regime. We observe that the calculations in the Endpoint Model give a good fit with experimental data in both regions. (orig.)
