Abstract

We present a fit of the spin-independent electromagnetic polarisabilities of the proton to low-energy Compton scattering data in the framework of covariant baryon chiral effective field theory. Using the Baldin sum rule to constrain their sum, we obtain α=[10.6±0.25\alpha=[10.6\pm0.25(stat)±0.2\pm0.2(Baldin)±0.4\pm0.4(theory)]×104]\times10^{-4}fm3^3 and β=[3.20.25\beta =[3.2\mp0.25(stat)±0.2\pm0.2(Baldin)0.4\mp0.4(theory)]×104]\times10^{-4}fm3^3, in excellent agreement with other chiral extractions of the same quantities.
