We review results of an analysis of pipi interactions in S, P and D waves for two-pion effective mass from threshold to about 1.4 GeV. In particular we show a recent improvement of this analysis above the K anti-K threshold using more data…

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…

We investigate theoretically $\Lambda$ production spectra of $^3$He($\pi$, $K$) reactions at $p_\pi=$ 1.05--1.20 GeV/$c$ in the distorted-wave impulse approximation, using the continuum-discretized coupled-channel method. The production…

In a series of previous papers the present authors and collaborators have shown strong evidence for existence of the long-sought sigma-particle by analyzing the pi pi-scattering and pi pi-production processes, applying, respectively, the IA…

This paper presents several measurements of total production cross sections and total inelastic cross sections for the following reactions: $\pi^{+}$+C, $\pi^{+}$+Al, $K^{+}$+C, $K^{+}$+Al at 60 GeV/c, $\pi^{+}$+C and $\pi^{+}$+Al at 31…

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 $\bar{K}K$…

Threshold expansions of the $\pi\pi$ and $K\overline{K}$ spin 0 and isospin 0 scattering amplitudes are performed. Scattering lengths, effective ranges and so--called volume parameters are evaluated. Good agreement with the existing…

We revisit the recently proposed method for the determination of the pi-pi scattering length combination a_{0}-a_{2}, based on the study of the pi0 pi0 spectrum in K+ -> pi+ pi0 pi0. In view of a precision measurement, we discuss here the…

Recent results from the NA48/2 experiment are presented. The $\pi\pi$ scattering lengths $a_0^0$ and $a_0^2$ have been extracted from the cusp in the $M_{00}^2$ distribution of $K^\pm \to \pi^\pm \pi^0 \pi^0$ decays and from the $K^\pm \to…

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,…

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 $\pi\pi\to K\bar K$…

The observation of the scalar meson, kappa(900) was reported in the fall of the last year in the analyses on the K pi system of the J/psi -> bar K^*(892)^0 K^+ pi^- decay data obtained by the BES collaboration. The analyses have been…

The evidences for sigma(600) and kappa(900) observed in our analyses on the pi pi and K pi scattering phase shift data are described, briefly. The analysis have been performed by the interfering amplitude method, which satisfies the…

We discuss various aspects of the multiparticle production processes at the LHC energy range with emphasis on the collective effects associated with appearance of the new scattering mode, which corresponds to the reflective scattering and…

Re-analyzing the old phase shift data of I=0, \pi\pi (I=1/2, K\pi) scattering, we show an evidence for existence of the \sigma-particle (\kappa-particle) with a comparatively light mass, which has been missing for a long time: In the…

BES II data for J/Psi->K*(890)Kpi reveal a strong kappa peak in the Kpi S-wave near threshold. Both magnitude and phase are determined in slices of Kpi mass by interferences with strong Ko(1430), K1(1270) and K1(1400) signals. The phase…

We present the scattering lengths for the $\pi\pi$ processes in the three flavour Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) framework at next-to-next-to-leading order. We then combine this calculation with the determination of the parameters from…

The naive use of higher order perturbation theory leads the left--hand cut integrals in $\pi\pi$ dispersion relations~\cite{hjy,Xiao01} divergent. This problem is discussed and solved. Also we point out that the Adler zero condition imposes…

Analytical formulas for the cross section of the reaction $pp \to p + \ell^+ \ell^- + X$ are presented. Fiducial cross sections are compared with those measured recently by the ATLAS collaboration.

We analyze the clean cusp, seen in the $\eta \pi$ mass distribution with high precision of the $\chi_{c1} \to \eta \pi^+ \pi^-$ reaction in the BESIII experiment, with the aim of making a precise determination of the scattering length $a$…
