We use chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) to calculate the $\pi^- d$ scattering length with an accuracy of a few percent, including isospin-violating corrections both in the two- and three-body sector. In particular, we provide the technical…
The pion-deuteron scattering length is computed to next-to-next-to-leading order in baryon chiral perturbation theory. A modified power-counting is then formulated which properly accounts for infrared enhancements engendered by the large…
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…
The isoscalar and isovector scattering lengths (b_0,b_1) are determined using a unitarized coupled channel approach based on chiral Lagrangians. Using experimental values of pionic hydrogen and deuterium as well as low energy pi N…
We consider constraints on the isoscalar S-wave pi-N scattering length a+ from pi-deuteron scattering, to third order in small momenta and pion masses in chiral perturbation theory. To this order, the pi-deuteron scattering length is…
We use the framework of effective field theories to discuss the determination of the S-wave \pi N scattering lengths from the recent high-precision measurements of pionic deuterium observables. The theoretical analysis proceeds in several…
We calculate the chiral corrections to Weinberg's prediction for the S--wave $\pi N$ scattering lengths up--to--and--including order ${\cal O}(M_\pi^3)$ making use of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. For the isospin--odd scattering…
It is shown that isospin-breaking corrections to the pion-deuteron scattering length can be very large, because of the vanishing of the isospin-symmetric contribution to this scattering length at leading order in chiral perturbation theory.…
We critically evaluate the isovector GMO sum rule for forward pion-nucleon scattering using the recent precision measurements of negatively charged pion-proton and pion-deuteron scattering lengths from pionic atoms. We deduce the…
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 discuss convergence issues as well as short distance constraints on the deuteron wave functions based on chiral perturbation theory relevant to pion deuteron scattering. Non-analytical terms arise in the multiple scattering series for…
The empirical value of the real part of the pion-deuteron scattering length can be well understood in terms of the dominant isovector $\pi N$-double scattering contribution. We calculate in chiral perturbation theory all one-pion loop…
In recent years, high-accuracy data for pionic hydrogen and deuterium have become the primary source of information on the pion-nucleon scattering lengths. Matching the experimental precision requires, in particular, the study of…
We present a parameter--free calculation of the dispersive and absorptive contributions to the pion--deuteron scattering length based on chiral perturbation theory. We show that once all diagrams contributing to leading order to this…
We calculate the leading isospin conserving few-nucleon contributions to pion scattering on $^2$H, $^3$He, and $^4$He. We demonstrate that the strong contributions to the pion-nucleus scattering lengths can be controlled theoretically to an…
We evaluate the S-wave pion--nucleon scattering length $a^-$ in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory up--to--and--including terms of order $M_\pi^4$. We show that the order $M_\pi^4$ piece of the isovector amplitude at…
The Goldberger-Miyazawa-Oehme sum rule is used to extract the pion-nucleon coupling constant from experimental $\pi$N information. Chiral perturbation theory is exploited in relating the pionic hydrogen s-wave level shift and width results…
The pi-N s-wave scattering lengths have been inferred from a joint analysis of the pionic hydrogen and the pionic deuterium x-ray data using a non-relativistic approach in which the pi-N interaction is simulated by a short-ranged potential.…
We analyse elastic-pion nucleon scattering to fourth order in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, extending the third order study published in Nucl. Phys. A640 (1998) 199. We use various partial wave analyses to pin down the low-energy…
The isovector GMO sum rule for zero energy forward pion-nucleon scattering is critically studied to obtain the charged pion-nucleon coupling constant using the precise negatively charged pion-proton and pion-deuteron scattering lengths…
