Abstract

We present a data-driven analysis of the resonant S-wave ππππ\pi\pi \to \pi\pi and πKπK\pi K \to \pi K reactions using the partial-wave dispersion relation. The contributions from the left-hand cuts are accounted for using the Taylor expansion in a suitably constructed conformal variable. The fits are performed to experimental and lattice data as well as Roy analyses. For the ππ\pi\pi scattering we present both a single- and coupled-channel analysis by including additionally the KKˉK\bar{K} channel. For the latter the central result is the Omn\`es matrix, which is consistent with the most recent Roy and Roy-Steiner results on ππππ\pi\pi \to \pi\pi and ππKKˉ\pi\pi \to K\bar{K}, respectively. By the analytic continuation to the complex plane, we found poles associated with the lightest scalar resonances σ/f0(500)\sigma/f_0(500), f0(980)f_0(980), and κ/K0(700)\kappa/K_0^*(700) for the physical pion mass value and in the case of σ/f0(500)\sigma/f_0(500), κ/K0(700)\kappa/K_0^*(700) also for unphysical pion mass values.
