The relevant low energy constants are fixed by fitting the available experimental data with the theoretical model. The inclusion of the Delta resonance as an explicit degree of freedom substantially improves the agreement with data and the convergence of the model. %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.102.113016 %U https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.04244 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.102.113016 %P 113016-23pp
