In this paper we show how rotational bands of resonances can be described by using trajectories of poles of the scattering amplitude in the complex angular momentum plane: each band of resonances is represented by the evolution of a single…
In the standard Breit-Wigner approach to scattering the phase shift is to have a form $\tan\delta_{\rm BW} =\Gamma_1/(E_1-E)$ at a real energy resonance. This leads to complex energy poles in the scattering amplitude at $E_{\rm…

Resonances, or scattering poles, are complex numbers which mathematically describe meta-stable states: the real part of a resonance gives the rest energy, and its imaginary part, the rate of decay of a meta-stable state. This description…
Relativistic resonances and decaying states are described by representations of Poincar\'e transformations, similar to Wigner's definition of stable particles. To associate decaying state vectors to resonance poles of the $S$-matrix, the…

We study scattering from potentials that rise monotonically on one side; this is generally avoided. We report that resonant states are absent in such potentials when they are smooth and single-piece having less than three real turning…
All resonances, from hydrogen nuclei excited by the high-energy gamma rays in deep space to newly discovered particles produced in Large Hadron Collider, should be described by the same fundamental physical quantities. However, two distinct…
We evaluate the time delay in some of the established resonance regions of $\pi N$ elastic scattering. In addition to the positive peaks corresponding to resonances, we identify broad regions of negative time delay or time advancement which…

The Wigner time delay is a measure of the time spent by a particle inside the scattering region of an open system. For chaotic systems, the statistics of the individual delay times (whose average is the Wigner time delay) are thought to be…
