particle physics - what interactions would take place between a free proton and a dipolariton?



What interactions can be expected to take place between a free proton and a dipolariton, (a) at high energies and (b) at lower energies?


A dipolariton is a bosonic quasi-particle mentioned in a recent article in Science. It is a static dipole that consists of an electron bound together with a photon. I suspect the proton and dipolariton would be attracted to one another, but I'm unsure of the specifics.
