Abstract: (APS)
Motivated by Lagrangian field theory, we construct an effective Hamilton operator for P- and S-wave pion-pion interactions, which can be handled easily by noncovariant perturbation methods. The result is a factorable T-matrix equation with unambiguous off-shell behavior, which includes the effects of intermediate states with ε(1300), S*(980), and ρ(770) mesons as well as with KK¯ and NN¯ pairs and describes the influence of inelastic pair effects on elastic scattering. The numerical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental S00 and P11 amplitudes up to a scattering energy of 2.5 GeV; a range of fundamental importance for nuclear physics.
