We compare a number of methods used to locate resonances. These include the speed plot, the time-delay method of Eisenbud and Wigner, the time-delay matrix of Smith, and a modification by Ohmura. Numerical results show a consistency not…
We evaluate the time delay in some of the established resonance regions of $\pi N$ elastic scattering. In addition to the positive peaks corresponding to resonances, we identify broad regions of negative time delay or time advancement which…
We evaluated the time delay plot in the established region of the Delta(1232) resonance through the use of elastic scattering phase shift analysis of the partial wave amplitude P33. The pole position and width of the Delta(1232) resonance…
We study the correlations of time delays in a model of chaotic resonance scattering based on the random matrix approach. Analytical formulae which are valid for arbitrary number of open channels and arbitrary coupling strength between…
Evidences and hints, both from the theoretical and experimental side, of exotic baryon resonances with B=S, have been with us for the last thirty years. The poor status of the general acceptance of these Z* resonances is partly due to the…
We review recent developments on quantum scattering from mesoscopic systems. Various spatial geometries whose closed analogs shows diffusive, localized or critical behavior are considered. These are features that cannot be described by the…
Using the concept of collision time (time delay) introduced by Eisenbud and Wigner and its connection to on-shell intermediate unstable states, we study mesonic resonances in pi-pi and pi-K scattering. The time-delay method proves its…
Assuming the validity of random matrices for describing the statistics of a closed chaotic quantum system, we study analytically some statistical properties of the S-matrix characterizing scattering in its open counterpart. In the first…
This work addresses fundamental issues related to the structure and conditioning of linear time-delayed models of non-linear dynamics on an attractor. While this approach has been well-studied in the asymptotic sense (e.g. for infinite…
In this paper we show how rotational bands of resonances can be described by using trajectories of poles of the scattering amplitude in the complex angular momentum plane: each band of resonances is represented by the evolution of a single…
The S wave pion deuteron scattering length is presented at NLO in the Effective Field Theory formulation of the two nucleon system with perturbative pions. At this order, this observable is determined by the iso-scalar S wave pion nucleon…
In a finite volume, resonances and multi-hadron states are identified by discrete energy levels. When comparing the results of lattice QCD calculations to scattering experiments, it is important to have a way of associating the energy…
Wigner-Smith (WS) time delay concepts have been used extensively in quantum mechanics to characterize delays experienced by particles interacting with a potential well. This paper formally extends WS time delay theory to Maxwell's equations…
We identify the poles and zeros of the scattering matrix of a simple quantum graph by means of systematic measurement and analysis of Wigner, transmission, and reflection complex time delays. We examine the ring graph because it displays…
This is the first of two subsequent publications where the probability distribution of delay-times in scattering of wave packets is discussed. The probability distribution is expressed in terms of the on-shell scattering matrix, the…
Scattering properties and time delays for general (non-symmetric) potentials in terms of the respective S-matrices are discussed paradigmatically in one dimension and in comparison to symmetric potentials. Only for the latter the Wigner and…
We propose a theory of the resonance-antiresonance scattering process which differs considerably from the classical one (the Breit-Wigner theory), which is commonly used in the phenomenological analysis. Here both resonances and…
We model a particle entering a complicated system from free space using an infinite chain of simple harmonic oscillators coupled to a finite, $n$-site cluster. For a particle wavepacket with small wavenumber, an expression for the time…
Finding systematics in the mass-lifetime data for all the hadrons has been an outstanding problem. In this work, we show that the product of mass and lifetime for unstable particles is very well-approximated by \hbar 2^n/n where n is an…
Employing the concept of time-delay, a relation is found which counts the number of quantal resonances supported by a potential. Several simple and advanced illustrations include a treatment of square-well, Dirac delta barrier, an…
