Analytic properties of production amplitudes

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

It is shown that a production amplitude, considered as a function of a single scalar invariant, inevitably has complex singularities when four other scalar invariants are fixed at physical values. For the processN+π→N+π+π, with the nucleon-nucleon momentum transfer as the variable, the singularities can appear close to the pole to which extrapolations have been made when the other scalar invariants are fixed at typical experimental values.

Riassunto

Si mostra che l’ampiezza di produzione, considerata come funzione di un solo invariante scalare, ha inevitabilmente singolarità complesse quando, entro valori fisici, si fissano quattro altri invarianti scalari. Nel processoN+π→+π+π, prendendo come variabile il trasferimento di impulso nucleone-nucleone, le singolarità possono apparire presso al polo verso il quale si è estrapolato quando agli altri invarianti scalari si assegnano tipici valori sperimentali.
