Bag Scattering Theory

1986

We reanalyze the procedure used thus far for the study of collision processes in the Chiral Bag Model from the point of view of scattering theory. In the present formalism thein andout states are free waves with no memory of the cavity. This feature gives rise to an observable effect consisting in a peculiar momentum dependence of the scattering amplitudes, which differs from that of previous calculations. The new procedure however does not change the magnitude of the pion-baryon coupling constants.
