Dynamical light vector mesons in low-energy scattering of Goldstone bosons

Danilkin, I. V., Gil, L. I. R., Lutz, M. F. M.

Understand

We present a study of Goldstone boson scattering based on the flavor SU(3) chiral Lagrangian formulated with vector mesons in the tensor field representation.

  • A coupled-channel channel computation is confronted with the empirical s- and p-wave phase shifts, where good agreement with the data set is obtained up to about 1.2 GeV.
  • There are two relevant free parameters only, the chiral limit value of the pion decay constant and the coupling constant characterizing the decay of the rho meson into a pair of pions.
  • We apply a recently suggested approach that implements constraints from micro- causality and coupled-channel unitarity.
