We evaluate the isospin breaking corrections to the scattering amplitude \pi^- K^+ -> \pi^- K^+ at threshold in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. This channel is of particular interest for the strong 2S-2P energy level shift in…
This Letter provides a new determination of the ten real coefficients that describe the structure of the $K \to \pi\pi\pi$ amplitudes in the limit where isospin is conserved and complex phases, due to either CP violation or final-state…
Additivity of Breit-Wigner phases has been proposed to describe interfering resonances in partial waves in $\pi\pi$ scattering. This assumption leads to an expression for partial wave amplitudes that involves products of Breit-Wigner…

We revisit the recently proposed method for the determination of the pi-pi scattering length combination a_{0}-a_{2}, based on the study of the pi0 pi0 spectrum in K+ -> pi+ pi0 pi0. In view of a precision measurement, we discuss here the…
The $s$-wave $\pi-\pi$ scattering lengths $a^I(T)$ at finite temperature $T$ and isospin $I=0,2$ are calculated within the SU(2) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. $a^2(T)$ displays a singularity at the Mott temperature $T_M$, defined as…
