Abstract: (APS)
We have analyzed low-energy pion-nucleon data for isospin invariance by comparing charge-exchange amplitudes derived from charge-exchange data with those predicted from recent π±p elastic data through the application of isospin invariance. A discrepancy of the order of 7% is observed beyond the contributions of the π±p Coulomb interaction and the hadronic mass differences.
