In this article, we extend our previous study of the $\pi$-$\pi$ scattering lengths under the presence of an external magnetic field, including finite temperature effects. The novelty of this work is precisely the introduction of…
CERN measurements of pi(-)p->pi(-)pi(+)n on polarized target at 17.2 GeV/c enable experimental determination of partial wave production amplitudes below 1080 MeV. The measured S-wave transversity amplitudes provide evidence for a narrow…
We report on recent progress on the chiral unitary approach, which is shown to have a much larger convergence radius than ordinary chiral perturbation theory, allowing one to reproduce data for meson meson interaction up to 1.2 GeV and…
Yields, rapidity and transverse momentum spectra of $\Delta^{++}(1232)$, $\Lambda(1520)$, $\Sigma^\pm(1385)$ and the meson resonances $K^0(892)$, $\Phi$, $\rho^0$ and $f_0(980)$ are predicted. Hadronic rescattering leads to a suppression of…
We report on recent results on the decay of the phi into pi^+ pi^- and phi radiative decays into pi^0 pi^0 gamma and pi^0 eta gamma, which require the consideration of the final state interaction of a pair of mesons in a region inaccessible…
We evaluate currently available information on low-mass dilepton and direct-photon emission spectra measured in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. In the first part an attempt is made to develop a consistent picture of the in-medium…
Given Brown/Rho scaling we thought of the mesons which are observed in Nambu-Jona Lasinio theory as collective modes. The pi, sigma, rho and A_1, should go smoothly through T_c as the temperature rose, going massless as T comes to T_c.
We present calculations of the $S$-wave isospin-zero and isospin-two pion-pion scattering lengths within a nucleon-meson model with parity doubling. Both scattering lengths are computed in various approximations, ranging from a mean-field…
We study the mass, width and couplings of the lightest resonance multiplet with I(J^{PC})=1(1^{--}) quantum numbers. Effective field theories based on chiral symmetry are employed in order to describe the form factor associated with the…
We study in various chiral models the pion charge radius, $\pi_{e3}$ form factor ratio, $\pi^\circ \to \gamma \gamma$ amplitude, charge pion polarizabilities, $\gamma\gamma \to \pi^\circ \pi^\circ$ amplitude at low energies and the $\pi\pi$…
We derive the scattering amplitude for Goldstone bosons of chiral symmetry off the pseudoscalar charmed mesons up to leading one-loop order in a covariant chiral effective field theory, using the so-called extended-on-mass-shell…
It is the purpose of the present manuscript to emphasize those aspects that make the scalar sector with vacuum quantum numbers rather unique. Chiral symmetry is the basic tool for our study together with a resummation of Chiral Perturbation…
We calculate the finite-temperature corrections in the dilated chiral quark model using the effective potential formalism. Assuming that the dilaton limit is applicable at some short length scale, we interpret the results to represent the…
In these notes we present an introductory review on various topics about low energy pion physics (some kaon physics is discussed as well). Among these, we include the uses of analyticity and unitarity to describe partial wave amplitudes…
We apply the perturbative chiral quark model (PCQM) at one loop to analyse meson-baryon sigma-terms. Analytic expressions for these quantities are obtained in terms of fundamental parameters of low-energy pion-nucleon physics (weak pion…
We study the restoration of chiral symmetry in linear sigma models with two quark flavors. The models taken into consideration have a U(2)_L x U(2)_R and an O(4) internal symmetry. The physical mesons of these models are sigma, pion, eta…
The mesonic quantum fluctuations and their corrections on the chiral condensate and pion polarization function are investigated in the self-consistent scheme of SU(2) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model by exactly calculating the next-to-leading order…
The features of the Resonance Chiral Theory (RChT) related to the description of the lightest scalar resonances, sigma, f0(980) and a0(980), are discussed. Major attention is paid to the fits of the invariant mass distributions in the…
The in-medium chiral condensate is studied with a new approach which has the advantage of no need for extra assumptions on the current mass derivatives of model parameters. It is shown that the pion-nucleon sigma term is 9/2 times the…
In the context of chiral SU(2) perturbation theory, pion-kaon scattering is analysed near the threshold to fourth chiral order. The scattering amplitude is calculated both in the relativistic framework and by using an approach similar to…
