Abstract
Calcns. are presented of differential cross sections for Compton scattering from the proton using amplitudes calcd. to fourth order in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. The obtained values are compared with available data up to 200 MeV. The agreement for angles up to 90 Deg is good over the whole energy range, but at more backward angles the agreement decreases above about 100 MeV, and fails completely above the photoprodn. threshold.
