The scattering of $\gamma \pi \to \pi \pi$ is studied using the axial anomaly, elastic unitarity, analyticity and crossing symmetry. Using the technique to derive the Roy's equation, an integral equation for the P-wave amplitude is obtained…
Recent developments in low energy pion physics are reviewed, emphasizing the strength of dispersion theory in this context. As an illustration of the method, I discuss some consequences of the forward dispersion relation obeyed by the…
We evaluate the isospin breaking corrections to the scattering amplitude \pi^- K^+ -> \pi^- K^+ at threshold in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. This channel is of particular interest for the strong 2S-2P energy level shift in…
We complete and improve the fits to experimental $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitudes, both at low and high energies, that we performed in the previous papers of this series. We then verify that the corresponding amplitudes satisfy analyticity…
The amplitude analysis has been performed on the pi0 pi0 final state obtained in the pi- p charge exchange process. The pi0 pi0 scattering amplitudes have been obtained for the S and D waves by the Chew-Low extrapolation and the partial…
We present the results of energy-dependent and single-energy partial-wave analyses of $\pi$N elastic scattering data with laboratory kinetic energies below 2.1~GeV. Resonance structures have been extracted using Breit-Wigner fits, speed…
An energy-dependent and a set of single-energy partial-wave analyses of $\pi$d elastic scattering data have been completed. Amplitudes are presented for pion laboratory kinetic energies up to 500~MeV. These results are compared with those…
Solutions for the amplitudes that give accurate description of pp and p-pbar scattering at high energies are investigated, with particular attention given to the properties of their zeros and slopes, whose determination is required for the…
An old calculation of the s-wave pi-pi scattering lengths is updated and supplemented with experimental data on the pi-pi s-wave phase shift. The results ma0 = .215 and ma2 = -.039 are in excellent agreement with those obtained from a…
We review two manifestations of chiral symmetry breaking in the pion sector. First, we examine the $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude at threshold, which is completely determined by the chiral symmetry breaking part of the strong interaction,…
In these notes we present an introductory review on various topics about low energy pion physics (some kaon physics is discussed as well). Among these, we include the uses of analyticity and unitarity to describe partial wave amplitudes…
We give a brief review of the theoretical description of low energy pion-pion scattering by the combined use of Chiral Perturbation Theory and Roy equations, an update of the Regge parametrization of $\pi\pi$ cross sections at high…
We present a new method for the determination of the pion-pion scattering lenght combination a0-a2, based on the study of the pi0-pi0 spectrum in K->pi+ pi0 pi0 in the vicinity of the pi+ pi- threshold. The method requires a minimum of…
We present a determination of the isospin-1/2 elastic $\pi K$ scattering amplitudes in S and P partial waves using lattice Quantum Chromodynamics. The amplitudes, constrained for a large number of real-valued energy points, are obtained as…
We carry out an analysis of $\pi\pi$ scattering in the $IJ=00$, $11$ and $20$ channels in configuration space up to a maximal center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=1.4$ GeV. We separate the interaction into two regions marked by an elementarity…
An exploratory study is made of the nucleon-nucleon $s$-wave scattering lengths in quenched lattice QCD with the Wilson quark action. The $\pi$-$N$ and $\pi$-$\pi$ scattering lengths are also calculated for comparison. The calculations are…
In a recent paper, Pelaez and Yndurain evaluate some of the low energy observables of pi pi scattering and obtain flat disagreement with our earlier results. The authors work with unsubtracted dispersion relations, so that their results are…
We review the cross sections for low-energy $\pi^- \gamma$ reactions in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. Charged pion Compton scattering, $\pi^- \gamma\to \pi^-\gamma$, is considered up to one-loop order where the pion's…
Charge-exchange rescattering $\pi^+\pi^-\to \pi^0\pi^0$ leads to a cusp effect in the $\pi^0\pi^0$ invariant mass spectrum of processes with $\pi^0\pi^0$ in the final state which can be used to measure $\pi\pi$ $S$-wave scattering lengths.…
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…
