Pion - Pion Scattering in Chiral Perturbation and Dispersion Relation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chiral perturbation theory, the low energy effective theory of the strong interactions for the light pseudoscalar degrees of freedom, is based on effective Lagrangian techniques and is an expansion in the powers of the external momenta and the powers of the quark masses, which correct the soft-pion theorems. Our primary emphasis will be on the problem of ππ scattering. After briefly reviewing these features and some results, we review some features of π − N scattering.

Dispersion Relation Analyses of Pion Form Factor, Chiral Perturbation Theory and Unitarized Calculations
The Vector Pion form factor below 1 GeV is analyzed using experimental data on its modulus, the P-wave pion pion phase shifts and dispersion relation. It is found that causality is satisfied. Using dispersion relation, terms proportional to s 2 and s3 are calculated using the experimental data, where s is the momentum transfer. They are much larger than the one-loop and two-loop Chiral Perturba...
متن کاملChiral Ward identities and pion propagation at finite temperature in the linear sigma model
Working within the linear sigma model at finite temperature, we construct effective one-loop vertices and propagators satisfying the chiral Ward identities, for small pion momentum and mass compared to the sigma mass. We obtain an expansion for the pion dispersion relation up to second order in the parameter mπ/4π f π. At leading order, this expansion reproduces the dispersion curve obtained in...
متن کاملPositivity Constraints on Chiral Perturbation Theory Pion-Pion Scattering Amplitudes
We test the positivity property of the chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) pion-pion scattering amplitudes within the Mandelstam triangle. In the one-loop approximation, O(p4), the positivity constrains only the coefficients b3 and b4, namely one obtains that b4 and the linear combination b3 + 3b4 are positive quantities. The two-loops approximation gives inequalities involving all the six arbitr...
متن کاملππ scattering, pion form factors and chiral perturbation theory
I discuss recent progress in our understanding of the ππ scattering amplitude at low energy thanks to the combined use of chiral perturbation theory and dispersion relations. I also comment on the criticism raised by Peláez and Ynduráin on this work.
متن کاملPhase-Shift Definition for Pion-Nucleon Scattering from Chiral Perturbation Theory
Chiral Perturbation Theory is considered as a very precise method when applied to pion-nucleon scattering near threshold and in the unphysical region since in these cases the pion momenta are small. In this framework, third order calculation yields a non-relativistic scattering amplitude with nine free parameters. From the fact that the resulting partial-wave amplitudes do not respect elastic u...
