Data-driven dispersive analysis of the ππ and πK scattering
We present a data-driven analysis of the resonant $S$-wave $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}$ and $\ensuremath{\pi}K\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\pi}K$ reactions using the partial-wave dispersion relation. The contributions from the left-hand cuts are accounted for using the Taylor expansion in a suitably constructed conformal variable. The fits are performed to experimental and lattice data as well as Roy analyses. For the $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}$ scattering we present both a single- and a coupled-channel analysis by including additionally the $K\overline{K}$ channel. For the latter the central result is the Omn\`es m…
Dispersive analysis of the γ*γ*→ππ process
We present a dispersive analysis of the double-virtual photon-photon scattering to two pions up to 1.5 GeV. Through unitarity, this process is very sensitive to hadronic final-state interaction. For the $s$-wave, we use a coupled-channel $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}$, $K\overline{K}$ analysis which allows for a simultaneous description of both ${f}_{0}(500)$ and ${f}_{0}(980)$ resonances. For higher energies, ${f}_{2}(1270)$ shows up as a dominant structure which we approximate by a single-channel $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}$ rescattering in the $d$-wave. In the dispersive approach, the latter requires taking into account $t$- and $u$-channel vector-meson exchange left-hand cuts …
Theoretical analysis of the γγ→π0η process
We present a theoretical study of the $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\eta}$ process from the threshold up to 1.4 GeV in the $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\eta}$ invariant mass. For the s-wave ${a}_{0}(980)$ resonance state we adopt a dispersive formalism using a coupled-channel Omn\`es representation, while the d-wave ${a}_{2}(1320)$ state is described as a Breit-Wigner resonance. An analytic continuation to the ${a}_{0}(980)$ pole position allows us to extract its two-photon decay width as ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Gamma}}}_{{a}_{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}}=0.27(4)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{keV}$.
