A novel extrapolation method has been used to deduce the charged Pion-Nucleon coupling constant from backward $np$ differential scattering cross sections. We applied it to new measurements performed at 162 MeV at the The Svedberg Laboratory…
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…
Our extraction of the pion-nucleon coupling constant from \pi p elastic scattering data is outlined. A partial wave analysis (T_{\pi} < 2100 MeV) is performed simultaneously with a fixed-t dispersion relation analysis (T_{\pi} < 800 MeV).…
There exist four pion nucleon coupling constants, $f_{\pi^0, pp}$, $-f_{\pi^0, nn}$, $f_{\pi^+, pn} /\sqrt{2}$ and $ f_{\pi^-, np} /\sqrt{2}$ which coincide when up and down quark masses are identical and the electron charge is zero. While…
High partial waves for $pp$ and $np$ elastic scattering are examined critically from 210 to 800 MeV. Non-OPE contributions are compared with predictions from theory. There are some discrepancies, but sufficient agreement that values of the…
This work provides a brief history of determinations of the pion-nucleon ($\pi N$) coupling constant from $\pi N$ and $N N$ data. From robust analyses of twenty reported values of the charged-pion coupling constant, exhibiting sizeable…
We study relationship between the physical quantities that characterize pion-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon interaction on the basis of the fact that nuclear forces in the nucleon-nucleon system at low energies are mainly determined by the…
In view of persisting misunderstanding about the determination of the pion-nucleon coupling constants in the Nijmegen multienergy partial-wave analyses of pp, np, and pbar-p scattering data, we present additional information which may…
In this updated and expanded version of our delayed Comment we show that the np backward cross section, as presented by the Uppsala group, is seriously flawed (more than 25 sd.). The main reason is the incorrect normalization of the data.…
Differential cross sections of elastic neutron-proton scattering have been measured for the energy range from 200 MeV to 580 MeV. The angular interval for the detection of the recoiling proton ranges up to 48 degree in the laboratory…
A brief introduction to different determinations of the piNN coupling constant is given, and some comments on the topics discussed in the working group are made.
As a first result of two new partial-wave analyses, one of the pp and another one of the np scattering data below 500 MeV, we report a study of the long-range chiral two-pion exchange interaction which contains the chiral coupling constants…
From recent charge exchange measurements in the extreme forward direction, an independent and precise determination of the pion nucleon coupling constant is possible. This determination has reopened the debate on the value of this…
We summarize results obtained in our studies of the pion-nucleon coupling constant. Several different techniques have been applied to pi-N and NN elastic scattering data, and the existing database for single-pion photoproduction. The most…
The simple model describing charge independence and charge symmetry breaking of the pion-nucleon coupling constant is proposed. The model, which has simple physical meaning and foundation, suggests directly proportional dependence of the…
The pion-nucleon coupling constants determine the strength of the long-range nuclear forces and play a fundamental part in our understanding of nuclear physics. While the charged- and neutral-pion couplings to protons and neutrons are…
An energy-dependent and set of single-energy partial-wave analyses of $NN$ elastic scattering data have been completed. The fit to 1.6~GeV has been supplemented with a low-energy analysis to 400 MeV. Using the low-energy fit, we study the…
The sensitivity of the deuteron and of $pp$ scattering to the $\pi NN$ and $\rho NN$ coupling constants is investigated systematically. We find that the deuteron can be described about equally well with either {\it large $\pi$ and $\rho$}…
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…
After a short survey of some topics of interest in the study of baryon-baryon scattering, the recent Nijmegen energy dependent partial wave analysis (PWA) of the nucleon-nucleon data is reviewed. In this PWA the energy range for both pp and…
