Abstract

We undertake a covariance error analysis of the pion-nucleon-nucleon coupling constants from the Granada-2013 np and pp database comprising a total of 6720 scattering data below LAB energy of 350 MeV. Assuming a unique pion-nucleon coupling constant in the One Pion Exchange potential above a boundary radius rc=3fmr_c=3 {\rm fm} we obtain f2=0.0763(1)f^2=0.0763(1). The effects of charge symmetry breaking on the 3P0^3P_0, 3P1^3P_1 and 3P2^3P_2 partial waves are analyzed and we find fp2=0.0761(4)f_{p}^2 = 0.0761(4), f02=0.0790(9)f_{0}^2 = 0.0790(9) and fc2=0.0772(6)f_{c}^2 = 0.0772(6) with a strong anti-correlation between fc2f_c^2 and f02f_0^2. We successfully test normality for the residuals of the fit. Potential tails in terms of different boundary radii as well as chiral Two-Pion-Exchange contributions as sources of systematic uncertainty are also investigated.
