We suggest a simple analytical description of the S-wave isoscalar $\pi\pi$ amplitude, which corresponds to a joint dressing of the bare resonance and background contributions. The amplitude describes well the experimental data on the…
We analyze the existing data on the angular distributions of the $\gamma\gamma\to \pi^+ \pi^- ,\pi^0 \pi^0$ reactions with using of the unitary model for helicity 2 amplitude. The purpose is to obtain the D--wave parameters and S--wave…
We discuss what can be learned about the shape of the pion distribution amplitude from the form factor for gamma* gamma(*) to pi transitions.
We make a direct and model-independent measurement of the low $\pi^+\pi^-$ mass phase motion in the $D^+ \to \pi^-\pi^+\pi^+$ decay. Our preliminary results show a strong phase variation, compatible with the isoscalar $\sigma(500)$ meson.…
Applying the Amplitude Difference method to Fermilab experiment E791 D+ -> pi-pi+pi+ data, we measure the low mass pi+pi- phase motion. Our results suggest a significant phase variation, compatible with the existence of an isoscalar…
We present a theoretical study of the $\gamma\gamma^{*} \to \pi^+\pi^-, \pi^0\pi^0$ processes from the threshold through the $f_2(1270)$ region in the $\pi\pi$ invariant mass. We adopt the Omn\`es representation in order to account for…
The low-energy $\pi\pi$ amplitude is computed explicitly to two-loop accuracy in the chiral expansion. It depends only on six independent (combinations of) low-energy constants which are not fixed by chiral symmetry. Four of these constants…
The most general amplitude for the radiative pion decay pi -> e nu gamma including terms beyond V-A theory is considered. The experimental constraints on the decay amplitude components are discussed. A model independent presentation of the…
We propose a formalism to extract the $\gamma\pi\to\pi\pi$ chiral anomaly $F_{3\pi}$ from calculations in lattice QCD performed at larger-than-physical pion masses. To this end, we start from a dispersive representation of the…
The process e^+e^-\to\pi^0\gamma in the energy range \sqrt{s}=0.60-1.06 GeV was studied at VEPP-2M collider with SND detector using 14 pb^{-1} of integrated luminosity. Data were analyzed in the framework of the vector meson dominance…
The scalar-isoscalar, scalar-isotensor and vector-isovector pi-pi amplitudes have been fitted simultaneously to experimental data and to to Roy's equations. Resulting pi-pi phase shifts up to 1600 MeV and near threshold observables have…
The $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude with regular analytical properties in the $s$ complex plane has been constructed. It describes simultaneously the data on the $\pi\pi$ scattering, $\phi\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ decay and $\pi\pi\to K\bar K$…
We suggest that the error quoted in the Mainz determination of the E2/M1 ratio (at the resonance energy) should be enlarged. A term dropped in expressions used by this group could be significant.
We give the amplitude for $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ in leading order chiral perturbation theory. For the case of real photons we calculate the total and differential cross section. Furthermore, we give the dependence of the…
In a model of isospin symmetry breaking we obtain the ($e^{-} e^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{-} \pi^{+}$) amplitude $Q$ and the isospin $I=0$ and $I=1$ relative phase $\psi$ at the $\phi (1020)$ resonance in aproximate agreement with experiment.…
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 $\delta_0^0-\delta_1^1$.
We discuss how to extract the weak phase alpha from present data on B--> rho+- pi-+ decays. Introducing alpha_{eff} and constraining the difference from alpha using flavor SU(3), one arrives at alpha=(95+- 16) degrees, if a testable…
High-precision H(e,e'p)pi0 measurements at Q2=0.126 (GeV/c)2 are reported, which allow the determination of quadrupole amplitudes in the gamma* N->Delta transition; they simultaneously test the reliability of electroproduction models. The…
We study the long-distance dominated K_L -> pi^+ pi^- gamma decay at O(p^6) in Chiral Perturbation Theory. The complete calculation of the O(p^6) loop magnetic amplitude is carried out. At this chiral order the model dependent part of the…
The problem of $\gamma \pi \to \pi \pi$ is studied using the axial anomaly, elastic unitarity, analyticity and crossing symmetry. The solution of the integral equation for this amplitude is given by an iteration procedure.The final solution…
