We present an extraction of the pion-nucleon (πN) scattering lengths from low-energy πN scattering, by fitting a representation based on Roy–Steiner equations to the low-energy data base. We show that the resulting values confirm the scattering-length determination from pionic atoms, and discuss the stability of the fit results regarding electromagnetic corrections and experimental normalization uncertainties in detail. Our results provide further evidence for a large πN σ-term, σπN = 58(5) MeV, in agreement with, albeit less precise than, the determination from pionic atoms.
