DYNAMICALLY GENERATED RESONANCES IN THE CHIRAL UNITARY APPROACH TO MESON BARYON INTERACTION
In this talk we report on the use of a chiral unitary approach for the interaction of the octets of meson and baryon and the octet of mesons with the decuplet of baryons. Two octets of $J^{\pi}=1/2^-$ baryon states and a singlet are generated dynamically in the first case, resulting in the case of strangeness $S=-1$ in two poles of the scattering matrix close to the nominal $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance. In the second case many resonances are also generated, among them an exotic baryon with S=1 corresponding to a $\Delta K$ resonance. We make suggestions of experiments which could show evidence for the existence of these states.
Structure of Lambda(1405) and chiral dynamics
We report on a recent theoretical work on the structure of the Lambda(1405) resonance within a chiral unitary approach, in which the resonance is dynamically generated in meson-baryon scattering. Studying the analytic structure of the scattering amplitude, we have found that there are two poles lying around energies of Lambda(1405) with different widths and couplings to the meson-baryon states. We discuss reactions to conform the double pole structure in experiment and elastic K^- p scattering at low energies.
Two Meson Scattering Amplitudes and their Resonances from Chiral Symmetry and the N/D Method
We study the vector and scalar meson-meson amplitudes up to \sqrt{s}\lesssim 1.4 GeV and their associated spectroscopy. The study has been done considering jointly the N/D method, Chiral Symmetry and implications from large N_c QCD. The N/D method provides us with the way to unitarize the tree level amplitudes constructed in agreement with Chiral Symmetry and its breaking (explicit and spontaneous). These amplitudes are calculated making use of the lowest order Chiral Perturbation Theory (\chiPT) Lagrangians and the exchanges of resonances compatible with Chiral Symmetry as given in. On the other hand the large N_c considerations allow us to distinguish between elementary (as elementary as …
Chiral symmetry amplitudes in the s-wave isoscalar and isovector channels and the $\sigma, f_0(980), a_0 (980)$ scalar mesons
We use a nonpertubative approach which combines coupled channel Lippmann Schwinger equations with meson-meson potentials provided by the lowest order chiral Lagrangian. By means of one parameter, a cut off in the momentum of the loop integrals, which results of the order of 1 GeV, we obtain singularities in the S-wave amplitudes corresponding to the $\sigma$, f_0 and a_0 resonances. The $\pi \pi \to \pi \pi, \pi \pi \to K \bar{K}$ phase shifts and inelasticities in the T = 0 scalar channel are well reproduced as well as the $\pi^0 \eta$ and $K \bar{K}$ mass distributions in the T = 1 channel. Furthermore, the total and partial decay widths of the f_0 and a_0 resonances are properly reproduc…
Meson-Meson and Meson-Baryon Interactions in a chiral Non-perturbative Approach
A qualitative account of the meson-meson and meson-baryon interactions using chiral Lagrangians and the inverse amplitude method in coupled channels is done. The method, imposing exact unitarity, proves to be very useful tool to extend the information contained in the chiral Lagrangians at energies beyond the realm of applicability of chiral perturbation theory.
Improved description of the $\pi N$-scattering phenomenology in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory
We present a novel analysis of the $\pi N$ scattering amplitude in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory up to ${\cal O}(p^3)$ within the extended-on-mass-shell renormalization scheme and including the $\Delta(1232)$ explicitly in the $\delta$-counting. We take the hadronic phase shifts provided by partial wave analyses as basic experimental information to fix the low-energy constants. Subsequently, we study in detail the various observables and low-energy theorems related to the $\pi N$ scattering amplitude. In particular, we discuss the results and chiral expansion of the phase shifts, the threshold coefficients, the Goldberger-Treiman relation, the pion-nucleon sigma term and the e…
Chiral Dynamics of the two Lambda(1405) States
Using a chiral unitary approach for the meson--baryon interactions, we show that two octets of J^{\pi}=1/2^- baryon states, which are degenerate in the limit of exact SU(3) symmetry, and a singlet are generated dynamically. The SU(3) breaking produces the splitting of the two octets, resulting in the case of strangeness S=-1 in two poles of the scattering matrix close to the nominal \Lambda(1405) resonance. These poles are combinations of the singlet state and the octets. We show how actual experiments see just one effective resonance shape, but with properties which change from one reaction to another.
