Abstract

We report on a systematic study of the ground-state octet baryon masses in the covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory with the extended-on-mass-shell renormalization scheme up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order, taking into account the contributions of the virtual decuplet baryons. A reasonable description of the lattice results is achieved by fitting simultaneously all the publicly availablenf = 2 + 1lattice QCD data. It confirms that the various lattice simulations are consistent with each other. We stress that a self-consistent treatment of finite-volume corrections is important to obtain a χ2/d.o.f. about 1.
