On the definition of the \Delta mass and width

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

In the framework of effective field theory we show that, at two-loop order, the mass and width of the \Delta resonance defined via the (relativistic) Breit-Wigner parametrization both depend on the choice of field variables. In contrast, the complex-valued position of the pole of the propagator is independent of this choice.
