Introduction Light mesons π, K are stable particles in QCD meson-meson scattering amplitudes contain fundamental info. on resonances (as complex poles) In re-scattering or FSI: same resonance poles but different residues [e.g. κ resonance more visible in D Kππ] Experimental status: Before 1985: many dedicated studies of meson-meson amplitudes (ππ ππ, πk πk, ππ KK ) After 1985: mostly FSI data ( B, D, J/ψ, τ decays)
Relation between FSI and scattering: Analyticity/Unitarity properties of QCD[Goldberger, Thirring PR 95,1612 (1954) ] Various complex plane cuts: F S πk (m π +m K ) 2 γ γ π π 0 4m π 2 Im[s /m π 2 ] 4 3 2 1 0-1 -2-3 η 3π -4-6 -4-2 0 2 4 6 8 10 Re[s /m 2 ] Unitarity cut Left-hand cut 4/25
Treatment of FSI easy if scattering is elastic [Omnès, Nuov.Cim. 8,316 (1958)] ( s f0 Kπ (s) = exp π 1/2 δ (m K +m π ) 2 (up to polynomial) (Aizu-Fermi)-Watson theorem holds ) 0 (s ) s (s s) ds Accounting for inelasticity extends region where FSI can be treated 5/25
