    The pole structure of the P11 pion-nucleon partial wave is examined with the emphasis on the 1700 MeV energy domain. The mechanism of eliminating continuum ambiguities in pion-nucleon partial wave analyses by using the coupled channel formalism, presented elsewhere for the piN -> etaN channel, is applied for the piN -> K Lambda channel, with the aim to clarify the issue whether physical reality requires none (VPI/GWU), one (KH80, CMB, Kent, Pittsburgh/ANL, Giessen), or possibly two (Zagreb) poles of the partial wave T-matrix in the 1700 MeV range. The role of second inelastic channel for resolving the dilemma is demonstrated. It is pointed out that the experiments for the piN -> K Lambda and piN -> K Sigma channel, extremely important for the 1700 MeV range, are old and inconclusive so an urgent need for remeasuring that channel is stressed.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures; talk held at NSTAR 2005 in Tallahassee, F

    Nucleon resonances and processes involving strange particles

    Full text link
    An existing single resonance model with S11, P11 and P13 Breit-Wiegner resonances in the s-channel has been re-applied to the old pi N --> K Lambda data. It has been shown that the standard set of resonant parameters fails to reproduce the shape of the differential cross section. The resonance parameter determination has been repeated retaining the most recent knowledge about the nucleon resonances. The extracted set of parameters has confirmed the need for the strong contribution of a P11(1710) resonance. The need for any significant contribution of the P13 resonance has been eliminated. Assuming that the Baker. et al data set\cite{Bak78} is a most reliable one, the P11 resonance can not but be quite narrow. It emerges as a good candidate for the non-strange counter partner of the established pentaquark anti-decuplet.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, contribution to the NSTAR 2004 conference in Grenobl

    Multichannel Anomaly of the Resonance Pole Parameters Resolved

    Inspired by anomalies which the standard scattering matrix pole-extraction procedures have produced in a mathematically well defined coupled-channel model, we have developed a new method based solely on the assumption of partial-wave analyticity. The new method is simple and applicable not only to theoretical predictions but to the empirical partial-wave data as well. Since the standard pole-extraction procedures turn out to be the lowest-order term of the proposed method the anomalies are understood and resolved.Comment: 5 page

    Model-independent resonance parameter extraction using the trace of K and T matrices

    Get PDF
    A model-independent method for the determination of Breit-Wigner resonance parameters is presented. The method is based on eliminating the dependence on the choice of channel basis by analyzing the trace of the K and T matrices in the coupled-channel formalism, rather than individual matrix elements of the multichannel scattering matrix.Comment: 6 pages, 16 figure
