This monograph offers a comprehensive summary of experiments on
Compton scattering from the proton and neutron performed at the
electron accelerator MAMI. The experiments cover a photon energy
range from 30 MeV to 500 MeV. The reader is introduced to the
theoretical concepts of Compton scattering, followed by a
description of the experiments on the proton, their analysis and
results. Investigating the same reaction on the neutron requires a
focus on the deuteron as a neutron target. Based on the success of
the first quasi-free Compton scattering experiment on the bound
proton, the experiment on the bound neutron was developed. The
publication of these series of Compton scattering experiments
enables investigators to improve our understanding of the
electromagnetic and the spin polarizabilities of the proton and
neutron.
