A simultaneous analysis (in the model-independent approach) of the $\pi\pi$ scattering (from the threshold to 1.9 GeV) and of the $\pi\pi\to K\overline{K}$ process (from the threshold to $\sim$ 1.46 GeV) is carried out in channel with…
We study forward and backward pi-pi scattering within a QCD model based on the Dyson--Schwinger, Bethe--Salpeter equations truncated to the rainbow-ladder level. Our microscopic relativistic quark formulation preserves chiral symmetry and…
We show that it makes sense to coarse grain hadronic interactions such as $\pi\pi$ and $\pi N$ reactions following previous work on NN scattering. Moreover, if the interaction is taken to be given by chiral dynamics at long distances above…
The S and P wave $\pi \pi$ phase shifts are recalculated in terms of two phenomenological parameters using the one loop CPTh and the elastic unitarity condition. Using these phase shifts, the vector and scalar form factors are calculated…
We carry out an analysis of $\pi\pi$ scattering in the $IJ=00$, $11$ and $20$ channels in configuration space up to a maximal center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=1.4$ GeV. We separate the interaction into two regions marked by an elementarity…
The Compton scattering on a charged pion and the process \gamma\gamma \to \pi^0\pi^0 are studied using the dispersion relations. Unknown parameters of the S-wave \pi\pi interaction, represented as a board Breit-Wignar resonance, and a sum…
The inverse amplitude method is analysed to two-loop order in the chiral expansion in the case of $\pi\pi$ scattering and the pion form factors. The analysis is mainly restricted to the elastic approximation but the possible extension to…
Analyzing the pion-mass dependence of $\pi\pi$ scattering phase shifts beyond the low-energy region requires the unitarization of the amplitudes from chiral perturbation theory. In the two-flavor theory, unitarization via the…

We compute the I=2 pi-pi scattering length at pion masses of m_pi ~ 294, 348 and 484 MeV in fully-dynamical lattice QCD using Luscher's finite-volume method. The calculation is performed with domain-wall valence-quark propagators on…
We discuss a number of two loop (vertex) integrals relevant for pi K scattering at threshold. As such these are functions of two well separated mass scales, M\_pi/M\_K << 1. The method of regions allows an expansion in this mass ratio prior…
The $S$-wave $\pi K$ scattering lengths are calculated for both the isospin 1/2 and 3/2 channels in the lattice QCD by using the finite size formula. We perform the calculation with $N_f=2+1$ gauge configurations generated on $32^3 \times…
