Low-energy pion-nucleon scattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
Using the divergence of the axial-vector current as the pion interpolating field and a soft-pion limit we derive a once-subtracted Low equation for the off-mass-shell ..pi..N amplitude. The sigma commutator term and the once-subtracted z graphs are the main isoscalar and isovector driving terms. The calculated S-wave phase shifts are in good agreement with the experimental data when we use vertical-barg/sub ..pi..//sub( 4M2/) vertical-bar = 11.69 and 25.5 MeV for the sigma commutator term.
