Nuclear Compton Scattering in the Delta-Resonance Region with Polarized Photons

Nuclear Compton scattering in the Δ-resonance region is reconsidered within the framework of the Δ-hole model. The different role of the resonant and non-resonant contributions to the transition amplitudes is discussed and their effect is investigated by comparing the results of the calculation with recent data also taken with polarized photons.
