Abstract

The electromagnetic structure of charged pions can be described by the electric (απ) and magnetic (βπ) polarizabilities that depend on the rigidity of pion’s 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.
