Abstract

We start by studying the Goldberger-Treiman discrepancy (GTd) Δ=(2.259±0.591)\Delta = (2.259\pm 0.591)%. Then we look at the πN\pi N σ\sigma term, with the dimensionless ratio σN/2mN=3.35\sigma_N/2m_N=3.35%. Finally we return to predicting (via the quark model) the πN\pi N coupling constant, with GTd Δ0\Delta\to 0 as mqmN/3m_q\to m_N/3.
