Electromagnetic corrections for the analysis of low energy $\pi^- p$ scattering data

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-10-18 v3

Abstract

We calculate the electromagnetic corrections to the isospin invariant mixing angle and to the two eigenphases for the ss-, p1/2p_{1/2}- and p3/2p_{3/2}-partial waves for πp\pi^- p elastic and charge exchange scattering. These corrections have to be applied to the nuclear quantities in order to obtain the two hadronic phase shifts for each partial wave. The calculation uses relativised Schr\"{o}dinger equations containing the sum of an electromagnetic potential and an effective hadronic potential. The mass differences between π\pi^- and π0\pi^0 as well as between pp and nn are taken into account. We compare our results with those of previous calculations and qualitatively estimate the uncertainties in the corrections.
