We calculate the combination $2a_0^{(0)}-5a_0^{(2)}$ (the Olsson sum rule) and the scattering lengths and effective ranges $a_1$, $a_2^{(I)}$ and $b_1$, $b_2^{(I)}$ dispersively (with the Froissart--Gribov representation) using, at low…
We obtain reliable $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitudes consistent with experimental data, both at low and high energies, and fulfilling appropriate analyticity properties. We do this by first fitting experimental low energy ($s^{1/2}\leq1.42…
We discuss $\pi\pi$ scattering in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. In particular, we recall the predictions made some time ago for the threshold parameters and for the phase shift difference $\delta_0^0-\delta_1^1$.
In a series of papers we have applied several sum rules and forward dispersion relations, to pion-pion scattering. We have found that some widely used data sets fail to satisfy these constraints, and we have provided an amplitude that…
This work reviews the available experimental information on the pi-pi scattering lengths, especially the recent near-threshold pi N -> pi pi N data from several laboratories and the related application of the Chew-Low-Goebel (CLG) technique…
We present a detailed analysis of S-wave Kpi scattering up to 2 GeV, making use of the resonance chiral Lagrangian predictions together with a suitable unitarisation method. Our approach incorporates known theoretical constraints at low and…
The chiral expansion of the $\pi\pi$ amplitude to the order of two loops was expressed in terms of six independent parameters in a previous paper: four of these are shown here to satisfy sum rules. Their derivation, where crossing symmetry…
We evaluate analytically the elastic $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude to two loops in chiral perturbation theory and give numerical values for the two $S$--wave scattering lengths and for the phase shift difference $\delta_0^0-\delta_1^1$.
I discuss recent progress in our understanding of the pi pi scattering amplitude at low energy thanks to the combined use of chiral perturbation theory and dispersion relations. I also comment on the criticism raised by Pelaez and Yndurain…
Four of the six parameters defining the two-loop \pi\pi scattering amplitude have been determined using Roy dispersion relations. Combining this information with the Standard \chi PT expressions, we obtain the threshold parameters,…
We complete and improve the fits to experimental $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitudes, both at low and high energies, that we performed in the previous papers of this series. We then verify that the corresponding amplitudes satisfy analyticity…
The pion-pion scattering amplitudes provided by second-order chiral perturbation theory are confronted with known rigorous constraints derived from the axioms of quantum field theory. We mainly test constraints restricting the…
We report on our determination of the values of the one and two loop low energy constants appearing in the Chiral Perturbation Theory calculation of the pi-pi scattering amplitude. For this we use a precise sum rule determination of…
We set up a general framework to describe $\pi\pi$ scattering below 1 GeV based on chiral low-energy expansion with possible spin-0 and 1 resonances. Partial wave amplitudes are obtained with the $N/D$ method, which satisfy unitarity,…
With the aim of generating new constraints on the OZI suppressed couplings of chiral perturbation theory a set of six equations of the Roy and Steiner type for the $S$- and $P$-waves of the $\pi K$ scattering amplitudes is derived. The…
We present a novel analysis of the $\pi N$ scattering amplitude in Lorentz covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory renormalized in the extended-on-mass-shell scheme. This amplitude, valid up to $\mathcal{O}(p^3)$ in the chiral…
In this talk I summarize a recently proposed mechanism to understand pi pi scattering to 1 GeV. The model is motivated by the 1/Nc expansion to QCD, and includes a current algebra contact term and resonant pole exchanges. Chiral symmetry…
The cross section for $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$ and the pion polarizabilities are computed, within generalized chiral perturbation theory, in the full one loop approximation, {\it i.e.} up to and including order $O({p^5})$. The result…
We match the known chiral perturbation theory representation of the pi pi scattering amplitude to two loops with a phenomenological description that relies on the Roy equations. On this basis, the corrections to Weinberg's low energy…
We improve, in the energy region between $\bar{K}K$ threshold and $\sim~1.4$ GeV, the energy-dependent phase shift analysis of $\pi\pi$ scattering presented in a previous paper. For the S0 wave we have included more data above $\bar{K}K$…
