The pion-nucleon coupling constant $g_{\pi N}$ is studied on the basis of the QCD sum rules. Both the Borel sum rules and the finite energy sum rules for $g_{\pi N}$ are used to examine the effects of higher dimensional operators (up to…
We start by studying the Goldberger-Treiman discrepancy (GTd) $\Delta = (2.259\pm 0.591)%$. Then we look at the $\pi N$ $\sigma$ term, with the dimensionless ratio $\sigma_N/2m_N=3.35%$. Finally we return to predicting (via the quark model)…
