Extraction of scattering lengths from final-state interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A recently proposed method, based on dispersion theory, that allows the scattering length of a hadronic two-body system to be extracted from corresponding final-state interactions is generalized to the situation where the Coulomb interaction is present. The steps required in a concrete practical application are discussed in detail. In addition a thorough examination of the accuracy of the proposed method is presented and a comparison is made with results achieved with other methods such as the Jost-function approach based on the effective-range approximation. Deficiencies of the latter method are pointed out. The reliability of the dispersion theory method for also extracting the effective range is investigated.

The cusp effect in η ′ → ηππ decays
Strong final-state interactions create a pronounced cusp in η → ηππ decays. We adapt and generalize the non-relativistic effective field theory framework developed for the extraction of ππ scattering lengths from K → 3π decays to this case. The cusp effect is predicted to have an effect of more than 8% on the decay spectrum below the ππ threshold. PACS. 11.30.Rd Chiral symmetries – 13.25.Jx Dec...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Λp Final State Interaction in the Reaction p + p → K + ( Λp )
The missing mass spectrum measured in high resolution studies of the reaction pp → K + X is analyzed with respect to the strong final state interaction near the Λp production threshold. The observed spectrum can be described by factorizing the reaction amplitude in terms of a production amplitude and a final state scattering amplitude. Parametrizing the Λp final state interaction in terms of th...
متن کاملΛ-Neutron Scattering Lengths from Radiative K− Capture
Radiative capture of the K by the deuteron is examined as a reaction for measurement of the Λ-neutron scattering lengths. Using the final state interaction, analogous to measurements of the radiative capture of pions by deuterium, the scattering lengths of both the triplet and singlet Λ-n interaction can be inferred. The problem of the separation of these two fundamental parameters without and ...
متن کاملInclusive electron scattering on 3H and 3He with full inclusion of final state interactions.
InClusive electron scattering data on 3He and 3H are analyzed under full treatment of the final state interactions (FSI) using realistic nucleon-nucleon forces. The data are well described. We use two different methods, one where we calculate the pd and ppn breakup contributions separately and another one which is related to the optical theorem for Compton scattering. Both rely on precise solut...
متن کاملDetermination of the S - wave ππ scattering lengths from a study of K ± → π ± π 0 π 0 decays
We report the results from a study of the full sample of ∼ 6.031 × 10 K → πππ decays recorded by the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS. As first observed in this experiment, the ππ invariant mass (M00) distribution shows a cusp-like anomaly in the region around M00 = 2m+, where m+ is the charged pion mass. This anomaly has been interpreted as an effect due mainly to the final state charge excha...
