Pion Scattering and Dispersion Relations

J. H. Hamilton

Open publisher page 18 citations

Abstract

Inaccuracies in the experimental data which might give rise to the discrepancy in the dispersion relations for the forward scattering of negative pions (up to a few hundred Mev) are examined. The discrepancy cannot be removed without contradicting one of the several apparently accurate experimental results. A relation to check charge independence is suggested.
