Abstract

We consider the chiral expansion of the threshold amplitude for the reaction γp → π0π0p to order script O sign (M2π). We substantiate a claim that this photoproduction channel is significantly enhanced close to threshold due to pion loops. A precise measurement of the corresponding cross sections is called for which allows to test chiral perturbation theory.
