Abstract

Pion instability effects are inserted into the OPEP part of the Hamada-Johnston and Yale potentials to determine if any observables are affected by these corrections. A contribution of 0.030 F to the observed neutron-neutron and singlet state neutron-proton scattering length difference is found.
