چکیده
It was predicted by Watson and Migdal [1] that close to threshold the energy dependence of the cross section is dominated by the Final State Interaction (FSI). Within the Watson-Migdal approximation the transition amplitude is factorized in terms of the production and FSI amplitudes. Further study were performed by Gottfried and Jackson [2] with introduction the absorptive correction to the Born amplitude due to the initial and FSI. Here we address the question what information, other than the FSI parameters , one can extract from data on near-threshold meson production. As was first proposed by Gell-Mann and Watson [3] the near-threshold energy dependence of the pp → ppπ 0 cross section is well reproduced by the Phase-Space (PS) basis and the FSI. Within the nonrelativistic limit the PS for n-particles is proportional to ǫ (3n−5)/2 , where ǫ stands for the excess energy and equals to the difference between the invariant collision energy and the total mass of the produced particles. At the range 0 ≤ ǫ ≤ 100 MeV the cross section for 3-particle production might increase 4 orders of magnitude due to the PS only. Let us to analyze not the cross section itself but the average reaction amplitude given as

Motivated by the ongoing discussion concerning the nature of the scalar resonances f 0 (980) and a 0 (980), the COSY-11 collaboration has taken exclusive data on the pp → ppK + K − reaction near the production threshold. A first total cross section σ = (1.80 ± 0.27 +0.28 −0.35) nb for the excess energy Q = 17 MeV has been determined. In contrary to the η, ω, and η ′ single meson production stud...
متن کاملO ct 1 99 8 Approaches to threshold meson production
Near-threshold data on meson production in nucleon-nucleon scattering are analysed in the short-range limit which permits a quantitative comparison of the production in two and three-body final states. The relative strengths of different meson productions are broadly in line with the predictions of onemeson-exchange models and it is deviations from these which are indications of extra physics. ...
متن کاملFinal State Interactions in Ω Photoproduction near Threshold Yongseok Oh
Vector meson photoproduction and electroproduction have been suggested as a tool to find or confirm the nucleon resonances. In order to extract more reliable informations on the nucleon resonances, understanding the non-resonant background is indispensable. We consider final state interactions in ω photoproduction as a background production mechanism. For the intermediate states, we consider nu...

We review the physics involved in the production and decay of top quarks in e + e − → t ¯ t near threshold, with special emphasis on the recent theoretical study on the decay process of top quarks in the threshold region. The energy-angular distribution of l + in semileptonic top decays is calculated including the full O(α s) corrections. Various effects of the final-state interactions are eluc...
