Microscopic derivation of pion-nucleon and pion-Delta scattering lengths

Nuclear Theory 2009-11-07 v3

Abstract

A general expression for the πN\pi -N and πΔ\pi-\Delta scattering lengths is derived in the framework of a microscopic calculation. Annihilation, negative energy wave-functions and spontaneous chiral symmetry are included consistently. The point-like limit is used to calculate the scattering lengths.
