Determination of the Mixing Angle,F(F+D)Ratio, and Coupling Constants of the Scalar-Meson Nonet

Abstract
In a combined analysis of low-energy nucleon-nucleon and hyperon-nucleon scattering we have determined some of the parameters of the scalar-meson nonet. We find that the ε meson is dominantly a unitary singlet. Simultaneously, we obtain good values for the F(F+D) ratios and coupling constants for the pseudoscalar and vector mesons.
