Abstract

We consider pion electroproduction at threshold to one loop order in chiral perturbation theory. We derive novel contributions to the low-energy theorems for the S-wave multipoles E₀₊ and L₀₊ at threshold to order O(μ², v) with μ=M_π/m the ratio of the pion and nucleon mass and v=k²/m² related to the four-momentum of the virtual photon. At next-to-leading order, the effect of infrared singularities generated by virtual pions becomes visible. We also discuss the inclusion of photon-nucleon vertex form factors.
