The threshold pbar-p peak in BES data for J/\Psi to gamma-pbar-p may be fitted as a cusp. It arises from the well known threshold peak in pbar-p elastic scattering due to annihilation. Several similar examples are discussed. The PS185 data…

The most important parameters in the study of low-energy scattering are the s-wave and p-wave scattering lengths and the s-wave effective range. We solve the scattering problem and find two useful formulas for the scattering length and the…
