Description

The electromagnetic structure of charged pions can be described by the electric (απ) and magnetic (βπ) polarizabilities that depend on the rigidity of pion internal structure as a composite particle. It is shown that the values of απ and βπ can be precisely measured via the Primakoff reaction π- + (A,Z) → π- + (A,Z) + γ in the COMPASS experiment at CERN
