Scalar radius of the pion and zeros in the form factor

Subject hep-ph (High Energy Physics - Phenomenology)
AbstractThe quadratic pion scalar radius, <r^2>_s^pi, plays an important role for present precise determinations of pipi scattering. Recently, it has been object of controversy between Yndur’ain, on the one hand, and Ananthanarayan, Caprini, Colangelo, Gasser and Leutwyler (ACCGL), on the other. While the former, based on an Omn`es representation of the scalar form factor, obtains <r^2>^pi_s=0.75pm 0.07 fm^2, the latter, from a solution of the Muskhelishvili-Omn`es equations with pipi and Kar{K} as coupled channels, end with <r^2>^pi_s=0.61pm 0.04 fm^2. A large discrepancy between both values, given the precision, then results. We reanalyze Yndur’ain’s method and show that for some S-wave null isospin (I) T-matrices the scalar form factor has a zero previously overlooked. Once this is accounted for, the resulting <r^2>_s^pi is compatible with the value of ACCGL. Following the corrected version of Yndur’ain’s approach we perform a new determination and obtain <r^2>_s^pi=0.63pm 0.05 fm^2. The main source of error is present experimental uncertainties in low energy S-wave I=0 pipi phase shifts. Another important contribution to the error is the not yet settled asymptotic phase of the scalar form factor from QCD.
