Abstract The electromagnetic polarisability of charged pions, α E , has recently attracted both theoretical and experimental attention. Unfortunately the experimental results disagree with each other. We have investigated this polarisation via a QCD sum rule approach and find α E = 5.6 ± 0.5 × 10 −4 fm 3 , which is in agreement with one experiment and disagrees with the result of chiral perturbation theory.
