Abstract

Final state interactions in the SS--wave ππ\pi\pi system (I=0,2) are re-examined on the basis of the Omn\`es-Mus\-khe\-li\-shvili equation and the coupled channel formalism. The contributions to the pion scalar form factor from ρ\rho and f2(1270)f_2(1270) exchange in the tt--channel and from the f0(980)f_0(980) ss--channel resonance are separately evaluated and the role of the nontrivial polynomial in the Omn\`es function in a coupled channel situation is elucidated. Applications are made to KππK\to \pi\pi and ppppππpp\to pp\pi\pi. It is found that the contribution from the f0f_0 resonance to the form-factor is strongly reduced by a nearby zero.
