Charged Pion Polarizability from the Lattice

Direct evaluation of charged particle polarizabilities on the lattice is quite difficult. However, a short cut for charged pion polarizability - the Das, Mathur, Okubo Sum Rule - can readily be calculated using lattice techniques. A phenomenological model has been developed to fit the time behavior of the propagators in this expression. Numerical systematics are discussed and some preliminary results are presented.
