Chiral dynamics of thepwave inK−pand coupled states

subject

description

We perform an evaluation of the p-wave amplitudes of meson-baryon scattering in the strangeness $S=\ensuremath{-}1$ sector starting from the lowest order chiral Lagrangians and introducing explicitly the ${\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{*}$ field with couplings to the meson-baryon states obtained using SU(6) symmetry. The $N/D$ method of unitarization is used, equivalent, in practice, to the use of the Bethe-Salpeter equation with a cutoff. The procedure leaves no freedom for the p-waves once the s-waves are fixed and thus one obtains genuine predictions for the p-wave scattering amplitudes, which are in good agreement with experimental results for differential cross sections, as well as for the width and partial decay widths of the ${\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{*}(1385).$
