On the dispersion theory of $\pi\pi$ scattering

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

Recent developments in low energy pion physics are reviewed, emphasizing the strength of dispersion theory in this context. As an illustration of the method, I discuss some consequences of the forward dispersion relation obeyed by the isoscalar component of the scattering amplitude.
