Percent-Level Prediction of the Deuteron Magnetic Polarizability
Abstract
Working through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) accuracy in pionless effective field theory, we compute the isovector magnetic-dipole contribution to the scalar deuteron magnetic polarizability. The polarizability follows from detailed balance and a dispersion integral with the two magnetic current counter-terms fixed by the thermal np→ dγ rate. The conventional ρ and Z expansion schemes differ by 12.3% at next-to-leading order but agree to 0.165% at NNLO, resulting an apparent scheme dependence and supplying an independent convergence diagnostic. We obtain βM0(M1v)=0.0789±0.0010 fm3, a 1.3% uncertainty, compared with 4.9% previously.
