Abstract
Current-algebra techniques are used to calculate , the even-crossing -wave scattering length. The off-mass-shell extrapolation includes sizable terms () of order and of all orders in . These contributions are found by using a pole model for axial-vector-current-nucleon scattering and on-mass-shell dispersion relations. The experimental result, , is matched if the term is vanishing or very small: . Alternatively, if we take , then the calculation predicts , which agrees with experiment. In the case of , the off-shell extrapolation is identical to that used in the derivation of the Adler-Weisberger sum rule. The predicted value of also agrees with experiment.
