The analysis of the poles of the $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude is shown to favour a dynamical origin of the sigma meson: it is created by a strongly attractive $\pi\pi$ interaction in the $J^{PC}=0^{++}I=0$ channel. In the limit…

The Faddeev AGS equations are solved for coupled-channels $\bar{K}NN-\pi\Sigma{N}$ system with quantum numbers $I=1/2$ and $S=0$. Using separable potentials for $\bar{K}N-\pi\Sigma$ interaction, we have calculated the transition probability…
We show that the non-strange scalar $\sigma$ meson, as now reported in the 1996 PDG tables, is a natural consequence of crossing symmetry as well as chiral dynamics for both strong interaction low energy $\pi\pi$ scattering and also $K \to…

We develop a numerical method to compute the probabilities of multiparticle production in weakly coupled scalar theories. Our technique is based on D.T. Son's semiclassical method of singular solutions. Applying it to the process $1 \to n$…
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…
We apply the 3D reduction method we recently proposed for the N-particle Bethe-Salpeter equation to the 4-particle case. We find that the writing of the Bethe-Salpeter equation is not a straightforward task when N is larger or equal to 4,…
A relativistic description of pion-nucleon scattering based on the four-dimensional Bethe-Salpeter equation is presented. The kernel of the equation consists of s- and u-channel nucleon and delta pole diagrams, as well as rho and sigma…

The total cross section for the near threshold eta production in proton-proton collisions has been investigated with the assumption that the production mechanism is due to the emission of a meson x (pi, eta, sigma) from one of the nucleons…
