Abstract

We provide new global parametrizations of ππππ\pi\pi \to \pi\pi scattering for the S2, P, D, F, and G partial waves up to at least 1.8 GeV, easy to implement for phenomenological use. With earlier S0-wave parametrizations, slightly updated here, they reproduce previous partial wave dispersion analyses up to the πω\pi\omega threshold. In addition, these new parametrizations have improved their description of recent P-wave data, the inelasticity in various waves, and their fulfillment of Roy-like and forward dispersion relations. The latter now test very high partial waves and have an improved matching with the Regge regime, extending those with P-wave contributions up to 1.6 GeV. Above 1.6 GeV and up to 1.8 GeV, or sometimes somewhat beyond, the parametrizations are simple unconstrained fits to data.
