Deuteron Dipole Polarizabilities and Sum Rules
The scalar, vector, and tensor components of the (generalized) deuteron
electric polarizability are calculated, as well as their logarithmic
modifications. Several of these quantities arise in the treatment of the
nuclear corrections to the deuterium Lamb shift and the deuterium hyperfine
structure. A variety of second-generation potential models are used and a
(subjective) error is assigned to the calculations. The zero-range
approximation is used to analyze a subset of the results, and a simple
relativistic version of this approximation is developed.Comment: 14 pages, LaTex - submitted to Physical Review
Antiproton-proton partial-wave analysis below 925 MeV/c
A partial-wave analysis of all antiproton-proton scattering data below 925
MeV/c antiproton laboratory momentum is presented. The method used is adapted
from the Nijmegen phase-shift analyses of pp and np scattering data. The
Nijmegen 1993 antiproton-proton database, consisting of 3646 antiproton-proton
scattering data, is presented and discussed. The best fit to this database
results in chi^2_min/Ndata = 1.043. The pseudovector coupling constant of the
charged pion to nucleons is determined to be (f_c)^2 = 0.0732(11) at the pion
pole, where the error is statistical.Comment: Report THEF-NYM 93.02 42 pages REVTeX, 7 separate postscript figures

Partial-Wave Analyses of all Proton-Proton and Neutron-Proton Data Below 500 MeV
In 1993 the Nijmegen group published the results of energy-dependent
partial-wave analyses (PWAs) of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering data for
laboratory kinetic energies below Tlab=350 MeV (PWA93). In this talk some
general aspects, but also the newest developments on the Nijmegen NN PWAs are
reported. We have almost finished a new energy-dependent PWA and will discuss
some typical aspects of this new PWA; where it differs from PWA93, but also
what future developments might be, or should be.Comment: Presentation at the 19th European Conference on Few-Body Problems in

The Status of the Pion-Nucleon Coupling Constant
A review is given of the various determinations of the different piNN
coupling constants in analyses of the low-energy pp, np, pbarp, and pi-p
scattering data. The most accurate determinations are in the energy-dependent
partial-wave analyses of the NN data. The recommended value is f^2 = 0.075 . A
recent determination of f^2 by the Uppsala group from backward np cross
sections is shown to be model dependent and inaccurate, and therefore
completely uninteresting. We also argue that an accurate determination of f^2
using pp forward dispersion relations is not a realistic option.Comment: 19 pages, latex2e with a4wide.sty, more information is available at
