The deuteron, NN analyzing powers A_y, and the singlet scattering length show great sensitivity to the $\pi NN$ coupling constant $g_\pi$. While the pp A_y data favor $g^2_\pi/4\pi\leq 13.6$, the np A_y data and the deuteron quadrupole…

It is shown that the threshold productions of $\pi^0 pp$, $\pi^+ np$ and $\pi^+ d$ from $pp$ collisions can be consistently described by a model consisting of a pion s-wave rescattering and $N\bar N$ pair-terms of heavy-meson exchanges. The…
