Description
The Goldberger-Miyazawa-Oehme sum rule is used to extract the pion-nucleon coupling constant from experimental $π$N information. Chiral perturbation theory is exploited in relating the pionic hydrogen s-wave level shift and width results to the appropriate scattering lengths. The deduced value for the coupling is $f^2 = 0.075 \pm 0.002$, where the largest source of uncertainty is the determination of the s-wave $π^- p$ scattering length from the atomic level shift measurement.
