We calculate the threshold T-matrices of kaon-nucleon and antikaon-nucleon scattering to one loop order in SU(3) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. To that order the complex-valued isospin-1 $\bar KN$ threshold T-matrix can be…
The problem of scalar mesons still remains a challenging puzzle, for which we do not even know which are the right pieces to set up. The proliferation of resonances (some of them are very broad and appear on top of hadronic thresholds) and…

We describe the method for extracting the elastic scattering phase shift from a lattice simulation at an introductory level, for non-lattice practitioners. We consider the scattering in a resonant channel, where the resulting phase shift…
Near threshold pion production experiments have been recently carried out and used to extract S--wave $\pi\pi$ scattering lengths. We emphasize here that at present these processes are related only at the tree level (and its first…
Chiral perturbation theory and its unitarized versions have played an important role in our understanding of the low-energy strong interaction. Yet, so far, such studies typically deal exclusively with perturbative or nonperturbative…
