We critically evaluate the isovector GMO sumrule for the charged $\pi N N$ coupling constant using recent precision data from $\pi ^-$p and $\pi^-$d atoms and with careful attention to systematic errors. From the $\pi ^-$d scattering length…
We give a prove of evidence that the original power counting by Weinberg can be applied to estimate the contributions of the operators contributing to the pi-deuteron scattering length. As a consequence, pi-deuteron observables can be used…
Peripheral nucleon-nucleon scattering is analysed in the framework of an effective field theory. Distorted-wave methods are used to remove the effects of one-pion exchange. Two-pion exchange and recoil corrections to one-pion exchange are…
Background: Theoretical calculations of the four-particle scattering above the four-cluster breakup threshold are technically very difficult due to nontrivial singularities or boundary conditions. Further complications arise when the…
A complete calculation of the corrections to pion-deuteron scattering length up to order $\chi^{3/2}$ with $\chi=m_{\pi}/M_{N}$ is performed. The calculation includes the dispersive contributions and corrections due to the explicit…

We determine the values of the one- and two-loop low energy constants appearing in the SU(2) Chiral Perturbation Theory calculation of pion-pion scattering. For this we use a recent and precise sum rule determination of some scattering…
An exploratory study is made of the nucleon-nucleon $s$-wave scattering lengths in quenched lattice QCD with the Wilson quark action. The $\pi$-$N$ and $\pi$-$\pi$ scattering lengths are also calculated for comparison. The calculations are…

The measurement of the pion-nucleon scattering lengths constitutes a high-precision test of the methods of Chiral Pertubation Theory, which is the low-energy approach of QCD. The pion-nucleon s-wave scattering lengths are related to the…
