Abstract: (Elsevier)
The determination of the σ-term from πN scattering is critically examined. The currently available data indicate σ≅45 MeV. Low-energy precision measurements are needed to clarify discrepancies in experimental data and to reduce the uncertainty in the strangeness content for which we obtain y ≅0.2.
