Abstract: (Elsevier)
We analyze the s-wave phase shifts derived from ππ and Kπ scattering data with a meson exchange model that includes both s - and t -channel exchange. Correlated ππ, K K , and Kπ pairs play a crucial role in explaining the phase shifts and the elasticity parameter below 1 GeV. Genuine scalar mesons are necessary to fit the s-wave phases in the I =0 ππ channel in the I= 1 2 K π channel for energies beyond 1 GeV.
