Abstract

A new sum rule determines the nucleon sigma term by the πN elastic scattering threshold parameters alone. This &#34;threshold&#34; value of σ(2μ2) provides an independent check of existing values obtained from global dispersive analyses, and also provides a realistic error assignment. Employing a recent analysis of low energy (Tπ< 100 MeV) πN data our sum rule implies σ(2μ2) = 71 9 MeV.
