Chiral symmetry and resonances in QCD

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study the formation of resonances in terms of the chiral SU(3) Lagrangian. At leading order parameter-free predictions are obtained for the scattering of Goldstone bosons off any hadron once we insist on approximate crossing symmetry of the unitarized scattering amplitude. A wealth of empirically established resonances are recovered and so far unseen resonances are predicted. Here we review in some detail the properties of light axial-vector mesons.
