Nuclear Polarizabilities and Logarithmic Sum Rules

Abstract

The electric polarizability and logarithmic mean-excitation energy are calculated for the deuteron using techniques introduced in atomic physics. These results are then used to improve limits on the atomic-deuterium frequency shift due to nuclear polarization in the unretarded dipole limit, as well as confirming previous results.
