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…
Branching ratios for the decay of hadrons with large width or near thresholds depend on their definition. We test different definitions and show that rather different branching ratios can be obtained. For wide resonances and for sequential…
When a resonance lies near the threshold of a heavier channel, an interesting feature can occur. The paradigmatic example employed here is the scalar isoscalar $f_0(980)$ resonance that couples to the lighter $\pi\pi$ and heavier $K\bar{K}$…
We discuss in general terms pole trajectories of resonances coupling to a continuum channel as some strength parameter is varied. It is demonstrated that, regardless the underlying dynamics, the trajectories of poles that couple to the…
In this work, we present a precise and model--independent method to extract resonance pole parameters from phase-shift scattering data. These parameters are defined from the associated poles in the second Riemann sheet, unfolded by the…
Resonances, or scattering poles, are complex numbers which mathematically describe meta-stable states: the real part of a resonance gives the rest energy, and its imaginary part, the rate of decay of a meta-stable state. This description…
We derive a new parametrization for the scalar pion form factors that allows us to analyze data over a large energy range via the inclusion of resonances, and at the same time to ensure consistency with the high-accuracy dispersive…
Bound, antibound and resonance states are associated to poles in the on-shell partial wave amplitudes. We show here that from the residues of the pole a rank 1 projection operator associated with any of these states can be extracted, in…
An S matrix approach is developed to describe elastic scattering resonances of systems where the scattered particle is asymptotically confined and the scattering potential lacks continuous symmetry. Examples are conductance resonances in…
A reliable determination of the pole parameters and residues of nucleon resonances is notoriously challenging, given the required analytic continuation into the complex plane. We provide a comprehensive analysis of such resonance parameters…
A central issue in hadron spectroscopy is to deduce --- and interpret --- resonance parameters, namely pole positions and residues, from experimental data, for those are the quantities to be compared to lattice QCD or model calculations.…
We use our latest dispersive analysis of pion-pion scattering data and the very recent Kl4 experimental results to obtain the mass, width and couplings of the two lightest scalar-isoscalar resonances. These parameters are defined from their…
We show how complex resonance poles and threshold energies for systems in hadron physics can be accurately obtained by using a method based on the Pad\'{e}-approximant which was recently developed for the calculation of resonance poles for…
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…
Properties of nucleon and $\Delta$ resonances are derived from a multichannel partial wave analysis. The statistical significance of pion and photo-induced inelastic reactions off protons are studied in a multichannel partial-wave analysis.
In hadron resonant scattering, there are four fundamental resonant parameters: real and imaginary part of the pole position, and the magnitude and the phase of the residue. Out of the four, the last one is the least understood. The search…
We provide a precise, model- and parametrization-independent dispersive determination of the $f_0(500)$, $\rho(770)$, $f_0(980)$, $f_2(1270)$, $f_0(1370)$, $\rho(1450)$, $f_0(1500)$, and $\rho_3(1690)$ resonance pole parameters. They are…
Electromagnetic resonance properties are uniquely defined at the pole and do not depend on the separation of the resonance from background or the decay channel. Photon-nucleon branching ratios are nowadays often quoted at the pole, and we…
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…
In this letter, we discuss the determination of the $f_0(500)$ resonance by analytic continuation through Pad\'e approximants of the $\pi\pi$-scattering amplitude from the physical region to the pole in the complex energy plane. Using as…
