Abstract

We have reanalyzed the π±p\pi ^{\pm} p scattering data at low energy in the Coulomb-nuclear interference region as measured by the CHAOS group at TRIUMF with the aim to determine the pion-nucleon σ\sigma term. The resulting value σ=(44±12)\sigma=(44\pm 12) MeV, while in agreement with lattice QCD calculations and compatible with other recent analyses, is significantly lower than that from the GWU-TRIUMF analysis of 2002.
