A unified description of NN and pi-N elastic scattering is presented in the framework of the one solitary boson exchange potential (OSBEP). This model already successfully applied to analyze NN scattering is now extended to describe pi-N…
Axiomatic principles such as analyticity, unitarity and crossing symmetry constrain the second derivative of the pi pi scattering amplitudes in some channels to be positive in a region of the Mandelstam plane. Since this region lies in the…
This article completes a former work where part of the O(p^6) low-energy constants entering in the pi pi scattering were estimated. Some resonance contributions were missed in former calculations and slight differences appeared with respect…
This paper contains the results of an analysis of recent low-energy pion-nucleon scattering experiments. Obtained are phase shifts, the pion-nucleon coupling constant and an estimate of the Sigma term.
A new dispersion relation for the partial wave $\pi\pi$ scattering $S$ matrix is set up. Using the dispersion relation we generalize the single channel unitarity condition, $SS^+=1$, to the entire complex $s$ plane, which is equivalent to…
We analyze the Roy equations for the lowest partial waves of elastic pi pi scattering and demonstrate that the two S-wave scattering lengths a_0^0 and a_0^2 are the essential parameters in the low energy region: Once these are known, the…
The multichannel S- and P-wave amplitudes for the pion-pion scattering, constructed requiring analyticity and unitarity of the S-matrix and using the uniformization procedure, are elaborated using the dispersion relations with imposed…

The coupled eta-N, pi-N, gamma-N system is described by a K-matrix method. The parameters in this model are adjusted to get an optimal fit to pi-N --->pi- N$, pi-N --->eta-N$, gamma-N--->pi-N and gamma-N --->eta-N data in an energy range of…
Compared in this work are a few sets of results, obtained from the pion-nucleon ($\pi N$) data at low energy (pion laboratory kinetic energy up to $100$ MeV) on the basis of the modelling of the $s$- and $p$-wave $K$-matrix elements (or of…

Differential cross sections for elastic scattering of 21.5 MeV positive and negative pions by Si, Ca, Ni and Zr have been measured as part of a study of the pion-nucleus potential across threshold. The `anomalous' repulsion in the s-wave…
We have performed a dynamical coupled-channels analysis of available p(e,e'pi)N data in the region of W < 1.6 GeV and Q^2 < 1.45 (GeV/c)^2. The channels included are gamma^* N, pi N, eta N, and pi pi N which has pi Delta, rho N, and sigma N…
Extensive dynamical $N/D$ calculations are made in the study of $S_{11}$ channel low energy $\pi$N scatterings, based on various phenomenological model inputs of left cuts at tree level. The subtleties of the singular behavior of the…
We provide new global parametrizations of $\pi\pi \to \pi\pi$ scattering for the S2, P, D, F, and G partial waves up to at least 1.8 GeV, easy to implement for phenomenological use. With earlier S0-wave parametrizations, slightly updated…

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…
Rapidly convergent, unsubtracted dispersion relations have been used to test coupled channel analyses of low-energy S = -1 meson-baryon pi Y --> pi Y' channels. We conclude that the low-energy S = -1 meson-baryon sector is less well known…
