    We report a high-precision determination of the 1 S 0 neutron–neutron scattering length ( a nn ) using the 2H( π −, nγ) n reaction. The value obtained in the present work is −18.50± 0.05 (statistical) ± 0.44 (systematic) ± 0.30 (theoretical) fm, which is consistent with the values from previous measurements. Combining our result with previous measurements reduces the total uncertainty in the world average of a nn to ±0.4 fm, matching the accuracy to which the charge-symmetric parameter a pp is determined.
