We present a formalism for the low-energy analysis of the $\gamma p\rightarrow K^{+}\pi\Sigma$ photoproduction reaction in the $\Lambda^{\ast}(1405)$ resonance region. In particular, the constraints arising from unitarity, gauge invariance and chiral perturbation theory are discussed in some detail.

... we will be mainly concerned with the extraction of the Λ * properties from πΣ invariant mass distributions dσ/dM πΣ , it seems worthwhile to consider a simplified hadronic model, illustrated in Fig. 2, where the photoproduction process is assumed to take place in two separable steps: first, the Λ * is produced together with a K + , and subsequently decays into a πΣ state. We invoke on-shell factorization here, so that the blob on the left-hand side of Fig. 2 stands for an on-shell Λ * photoproduction amplitude S µ Λ * , while the ...

We invoke on-shell factorization here, so that the blob on the left-hand side of Fig. 2 stands for an on-shell Λ * photoproduction amplitude S µ Λ * , while the strength of the Λ * πΣ vertex on the right-hand side can be related to the width of the Λ * , Γ Λ * . The rationale behind this is that we are now interested mainly in the resonance pole terms in the variable M πΣ , so that we can neglect all kinds of background ...

... the expression in Eq. (22). Indeed, computing amplitudes from graphs like the one in Fig. 2, one finds that the Λ * pole terms in the resulting A i 0+ are proportional to the combinations B i Λ * . In the same way, one could relate the terms involving the A i 1− to pole terms due to a S = −1, spin 1 2 p-wave resonance. Approaching the reaction threshold, only the combination A 1 0+ survives in (27), which explains the ...

Stimulated by the recent LHCb observation of a new exotic charged structure $T^{+}_{cc}$, we propose to use the central diffractive mechanism existing in the $\gamma{}p\to{}D^{+}\bar{T}^{-}_{cc}\Lambda_c^{+}$ ($\bar{T}_{cc}$ is antiparticle of $T^{+}_{cc}$) reaction to produce $T^{+}_{cc}$. Our theoretical approach is based on the chiral unitary th...

This study focuses on the interaction of the pseudoscalar meson octet and the baryon decuplet. In the continuum, it is observed that several \(J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^-\) baryon resonances can be produced by the Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction in unitarized chiral perturbation theory, including the N(1875), \(\Sigma (1670)\), \(\Sigma (1910)\), \(\Xi (1820...

The paper presents a first time attempt on a combined fit of the $K^{-}p$ low-energy data and the $\pi\Sigma$ photoproduction mass spectra, performed without fixing the meson-baryon rescattering amplitudes to a specific $\pi\Sigma - \bar{K}N$ coupled channels model obtained from fitting exclusively the $K^{-}p$ data. The formalism adopted to descri...

We study the unitarized meson–baryon scattering amplitude at leading order in the strangeness $$S=-1$$ S = - 1 sector using time-ordered perturbation theory for a manifestly Lorentz-invariant formulation of chiral effective field theory. By solving the coupled-channel integral equations with the full off-shell dependence of the effective potential...

A bstract We present a comprehensive analysis of form factors for two light pseudoscalar mesons induced by scalar, vector, and tensor quark operators. The theoretical framework is based on a combination of unitarized chiral perturbation theory and dispersion relations. The low-energy constants in chiral perturbation theory are fixed by a global fit...
