A partial-wave analysis of all [ital [bar p]p] scattering data below 925 MeV/[ital c] antiproton laboratory momentum is presented. The method used is adapted from the Nijmegen phase-shift analyses of [ital pp] and [ital np] scattering data. We solve the Schroedinger equation for the coupled [ital [bar p]p] and [ital [bar n]n] channels where the long- and intermediate-range interactions are described by a theoretically well-founded potential. This gives the rapid variations of the scattering amplitudes with energy. This potential consists of the Coulomb potential with the main relativistic correction, the magnetic-moment interaction, the one-pion-exchange potential, and the heavy-boson exchanges of the Nijmegen one-boson-exchange potential. Slow variations of the amplitudes due to short-range interactions, including the coupling to mesonic annihilation channels, are parametrized by an energy-dependent, complex boundary condition, specified at a radius of [ital r]=1.3 fm. The Nijmegen 1993 [ital [bar p]p] database, consisting of 3646 [ital [bar p]p] scattering data, is presented and discussed. The best fit to this database results in [chi][sub min][sup 2]/[ital N][sub data]=1.043. This good fit to the data shows that the Nijmegen long- and intermediate-range potential is essentially correct. The pseudovector coupling constant of the charged pion to nucleons is determined to be [ital f][sub [ital c]][sup 2]=0.0732(11) at the pion pole, where the error is statistical.
