The different schemes for the definition of the Z boson mass are analyzed. It is shown that the scheme, defining the mass as pole of the real part of the Z boson propagator and the width as the imaginary part of the propagator at the same…
Whether one starts form the analytic S-matrix definition or the requirement of gauge parameter independence in renormalization theory, a relativistic resonance is given by a pole at a complex value s of energy squared. The complex number s…
Baryon chiral perturbation theory with explicit $\Delta(1232)$ degrees of freedom is considered. Using the extended on-mass-shell renormalization scheme, a manifestly Lorentz-invariant effective field theory with a systematic power counting…
We calculate the width of the delta resonance at leading two-loop order in baryon chiral perturbation theory. This gives a correlation between the leading pion-nucleon-delta and pion-delta couplings, which is relevant for the analysis of…
We discuss the pole mass and the width of the $\Delta(1232)$ resonance to third order in chiral effective field theory. In our calculation we choose the complex-mass renormalization scheme (CMS) and show that the CMS provides a consistent…
The pole mass and the width of the Roper resonance are calculated as functions of the pion mass in the framework of low-energy effective field theory of the strong interactions. We implement a systematic power-counting procedure by applying…
All resonances, from hydrogen nuclei excited by the high-energy gamma rays in deep space to newly discovered particles produced in Large Hadron Collider, should be described by the same fundamental physical quantities. However, two distinct…
The standard approach to determine the parameters of a resonance is based on the study of the volume dependence of the energy spectrum. In this work we study a non-linear sigma model coupled to a scalar field in which a resonance emerges.…
For systems of unstable particles that mix with each other, an approximation of the fully momentum-dependent propagator matrix is presented in terms of a sum of simple Breit-Wigner propagators that are multiplied with finite on-shell wave…
We show that a slightly modified Breit-Wigner formula can successfully describe the total cross section even for the broad resonances, from light rho(770) to the heavy Z boson. In addition to mass, width, and branching fraction, we include…
For two interacting particles (TIP) in one-dimensional random potential the dependence of the Breit-Wigner width $\Gamma$, the local density of states and the TIP localization length on system parameters is determined analytically. The…
The propagators of unstable particles are considered in the framework of the convolution representation. Spectral function was found for a special case when the propagator of scalar unstable particle has Breight-Wigner form. The expressions…
In the course of devising a simple method for extraction of the S-matrix poles from the data, an additional fundamental resonance property emerged. It is a reaction invariant quantity, and since it is directly related to the Breit-Wigner…
Resonances are of particular importance to the scattering of composite particles in quantum mechanics. We build an effective field theory for two-body scattering which includes a low-energy $S$-wave resonance. Our starting point is the most…
Relativistic resonances and decaying states are described by representations of Poincar\'e transformations, similar to Wigner's definition of stable particles. To associate decaying state vectors to resonance poles of the $S$-matrix, the…
We present an effective field theory of the $\Delta$-resonance as an interacting Weinberg's $(3/2,0)\oplus (0,3/2)$ field in the multi-spinor formalism. We derive its interactions with nucleons $N$, pions $\pi$ and photons $\gamma$, and…
It is shown that conventional mass renormalization, when applied to photonic or gluonic corrections to unstable particle propagators, leads to non-convergent series in the resonance region. A solution of this problem, based on the concepts…
Whenever the Breit-Wigner amplitude appears in a calculation,there are many instances (e.g., Fermi's two-level system and the Weisskopf-Wigner approximation) where energy integrations are extended from the scattering spectrum of the…
It is well known that the propagator for a massive scalar field is ill-defined in the coordinate space for $d\geq2$, in particular it diverges at the light-cone; we show that by using Lorentz symmetry breaking weighted measures, an infinite…
