The $s-$wave meson-baryon scattering is analyzed for the isospin-strangeness $I=1/2, S=0$ and $I=0,S=-1$ sectors, in a Bethe-Salpeter coupled channel formalism incorporating Chiral Symmetry. For both sectors, four channels have been…

In this paper we use one-loop chiral perturbation theory in order to compare lattice computations of the K+ to pi+ pi0 decay amplitude with the experimental value. This makes it possible to investigate three systematic effects that plague…
We calculate the threshold T-matrices of kaon-nucleon and antikaon-nucleon scattering to one loop order in SU(3) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. To that order the complex-valued isospin-1 $\bar KN$ threshold T-matrix can be…
We calculate the logarithmic corrections to the matrix elements for $K^+\to\pi^+$ and $K\to$vacuum (which are used on the lattice to determine $K\to\pi\pi$ amplitudes), in one-loop quenched and unquenched Chiral Perturbation Theory. We find…

We want to test the predictive power of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). In this work, we use the ChPT pion-pion scattering amplitude, including two loop contributions, and we obtain S- and P-wave low-energy phase shifts. We show that, by…
We investigate the two-body reactions $\bar K N\rightarrow \bar K N$, $\bar K N\rightarrow \pi \Lambda$, and $\bar K N\rightarrow \pi \Sigma$ via single-energy partial-wave analyses in the c.m.\ energy range 1480 to 2100 MeV. The…
Strong interaction $\Lambda\pi$ phase shifts relevant for the weak nonleptonic decay $\Xi \rightarrow \Lambda \pi$ are calculated using baryon chiral perturbation theory. We find in leading order that the S-wave phase shift vanishes and the…
