Aspects of chiral pion-nucleon physics

Abstract

The next-to-leading order chiral pion-nucleon Lagrangian contains seven finite low-energy constants. Two can be fixed from the nucleon anomalous magnetic moments and another one from the quark mass contribution to the neutron-proton mass splitting. We find a set of nine observables, which to one loop order do only depend on the remaining four dimension two couplings. These are then determined from a best fit. We also show that their values can be understood in terms of resonance exchange related to $\Delta$ excitation as well as vector and scalar meson exchange. In particular, we discuss the role of the fictitious scalar-isoscalar meson. We also investigate the chiral expansion of the two P-wave scattering volumes $P_1^{-}$ and $P_2^{+}$ as well as the isovector S-wave effective range parameter $b^{-}$. The one-loop calculation is in good agreement with the data. The difference $P_1^{-}-P_2^{+}$ signals chiral loop effects in the $\pi N$ P-waves. The calculated D- and F-wave threshold parameters compare well with the empirical values.
