We analyze the Roy equations for the lowest partial waves of elastic pi pi scattering and demonstrate that the two S-wave scattering lengths a_0^0 and a_0^2 are the essential parameters in the low energy region: Once these are known, the…

The Compton scattering on a charged pion is studied using the dispersion relations. Unknown mass, full width and decay width into \gamma \gamma of the sigma meson are found from a fit to the experimental data for the process \gamma+\gamma…
We evaluate $I=2$ two-pion scattering length through the scattering amplitude obtained by the Bethe-Salpeter wave function inside the interaction range. The scattering length is computed with $m_\pi = 0.52-0.86$ GeV in the quenched lattice…
In the paper Phys. Rev. {\bf D83}, 054008 (2011) we constructed the $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude $T^0_0$ with regular analytical properties in the $s$ complex plane, describing both experimental data and the results based on chiral…
Present status of the study of the low energy $\pi\pi$ interaction is reviewed, including the recent results on reactions $\pi N \to\pi\pi N$ near threshold. Current experimental values of s-wave $\pi\pi$ scattering lengths are compared…
Medium and high energy absorptive parts contribute to dispersive expressions for D- wave scattering lengths, $a^0_2$ and $a^2_2$. For the model employed by Basdevant, Frogatt and Peterson we find the D- wave driving term contributions to…

We calculate the parameters describing elastic $I=1$, $P$-wave $\pi\pi$ scattering using lattice QCD with $2+1$ flavors of clover fermions. Our calculation is performed with a pion mass of $m_\pi \approx 320\:\:{\rm MeV}$ and a lattice size…
The NA48/2 collaboration has shown clear experimental evidence for a cusp in the data for K -> pi pi^0 pi^0. This effect can be used to extract information on the pi-pi scattering lengths. We address this issue using a two-loop dispersive…
The scalar-isoscalar, scalar-isotensor and vector-isovector pi-pi amplitudes are fitted simultaneously to experimental data and to Roy's equations. The resulting amplitudes are compared with those fitted only to experimental data. No…
We discuss the recent Cabibbo's proposal to measure the pion-pion scattering lengths combination a0-a2 from the cusp effect in the pi0-pi0 energy spectrum at threshold for K+ to (pi0 pi0 pi+) and KL to (pi0 pi0 pi0). We estimate the…
