Abstract

We study coupled channel effects upon isospin I=2 and I=0 ππ\pi\pi S-wave interaction. With introduction of the ππρρππ\pi\pi\to\rho\rho\to\pi\pi coupled channel box diagram contribution into ππ\pi\pi amplitude in addition to ρ\rho and f2(1270)f_2 (1270) exchange, we reproduce the ππ\pi \pi I=2 S-wave and D-wave scattering phase shifts and inelasticities up to 2 GeV quite well in a K-matrix formalism. For I=0 case, the same ππρρππ\pi\pi\to\rho\rho\to\pi\pi box diagram is found to give the largest contribution for the inelasticity among all possible coupled channels including ππωωππ\pi\pi\to\omega\omega\to\pi\pi, ππKKˉππ\pi\pi\to K \bar{K}\to\pi\pi. We also show why the broad σ\sigma appears narrower in production processes than in ππ\pi\pi scattering process.
