Abstract

Fifty-seven

π^{-} - p

scattering events in the energy range 10-30 Mev have been observed in a hydrogen bubble chamber. The

S

-wave scattering length

\frac{1}{3} η^{- 1} (2 α_{1} + α_{3}) = 0.077 \pm 0.011

is found to give the best fit to the data assuming

α_{13} = α_{31} = α_{11} = 0

,

α_{33} = 0.235 η^{3}

. This result is combined with the results of other low-energy scattering experiments to give estimates of

α_{1}

and

α_{3}

.
