We compare our results with recent low-energy data from the Mainz Microtron for angular distributions and photon asymmetries. The convergence of the chiral series of the covariant approach is found to improve substantially with the inclusion of the Delta(1232) resonance.", optnote="WOS:000376256400002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2694), last updated on Fri, 17 Jun 2016 14:34:11 +0000", issn="2470-0010", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.93.094018", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.08967", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.93.094018", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1602.08967", language="English" }
