Proton polarisabilities from Compton data using Covariant Chiral EFT

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 $α=[10.6\pm0.25$(stat)$\pm0.2$(Baldin)$\pm0.4$(theory)$]\times10^{-4}$fm$^3$ and $β=[3.2\mp0.25$(stat)$\pm0.2$(Baldin)$\mp0.4$(theory)$]\times10^{-4}$fm$^3$, in excellent agreement with other chiral extractions of the same quantities.
