In this article we study resonances and surface waves in $pi^+$--p scattering. We focus on the sequence whose spin-parity values are given by $J^p = {3/2}^+,{7/2}^+, {11/2}^+, {15/2}^+,{19/2}^+$. A widely-held belief takes for granted that this sequence can be connected by a moving pole in the complex angular momentum (CAM) plane, which gives rise to a linear trajectory of the form $J = alpha_0+alpha m^2$, $alphasim 1/(mathrm{GeV})^2$, which is the standard expression of the Regge pole trajectory. But the phenomenology shows that only the first few resonances lie on a trajectory of this type. For higher $J^p$ this rule is violated and is substituted by the relation $Jsim kR$, where $k$ is the pion--nucleon c.m.s.-momentum, and $Rsim 1$ fm. In this article we prove: (a) Starting from a non-relativistic model of the proton, regarded as composed by three quarks confined by harmonic potentials, we prove that the first three members of this $pi^+$-p resonance sequence can be associated with a vibrational spectrum of the proton generated by an algebra $Sp(3,R)$. Accordingly, these first three members of the sequence can be described by Regge poles and lie on a standard linear trajectory. (b) At higher energies the amplitudes are dominated by diffractive scattering, and the creeping waves play a dominant role. They can be described by a second class of poles, which can be called Sommerfelds poles, and lie on a line nearly parallel to the imaginary axis of the CAM-plane. (c) The Sommerfeld pole which is closest to the real axis of the CAM-plane is dominant at large angles, and describes in a proper way the backward diffractive peak in both the following cases: at fixed $k$, as a function of the scattering angle, and at fixed scattering angle $theta=pi$, as a function of $k$. (d) The evolution of this pole, as a function of $k$, is given in first approximation by $Jsimeq kR$.

We have performed the most comprehensive resonance-model fit of $pi^-pi^-pi^+$ states using the results of our previously published partial-wave analysis (PWA) of a large data set of diffractive-dissociation events from the reaction $pi^- + p to pi^-pi^-pi^+ + p_text{recoil}$ with a 190 GeV/$c$ pion beam. The PWA results, which were obtained in 100 bins of three-pion mass, $0.5 < m_{3pi} < 2.5$ GeV/$c^2$, and simultaneously in 11 bins of the reduced four-momentum transfer squared, $0.1 < t < 1.0$ $($GeV$/c)^2$, are subjected to a resonance-model fit using Breit-Wigner amplitudes to simultaneously describe a subset of 14 selected waves using 11 isovector light-meson states with $J^{PC} = 0^{-+}$, $1^{++}$, $2^{++}$, $2^{-+}$, $4^{++}$, and spin-exotic $1^{-+}$ quantum numbers. The model contains the well-known resonances $pi(1800)$, $a_1(1260)$, $a_2(1320)$, $pi_2(1670)$, $pi_2(1880)$, and $a_4(2040)$. In addition, it includes the disputed $pi_1(1600)$, the excited states $a_1(1640)$, $a_2(1700)$, and $pi_2(2005)$, as well as the resonancelike $a_1(1420)$. We measure the resonance parameters mass and width of these objects by combining the information from the PWA results obtained in the 11 $t$ bins. We extract the relative branching fractions of the $rho(770) pi$ and $f_2(1270) pi$ decays of $a_2(1320)$ and $a_4(2040)$, where the former one is measured for the first time. In a novel approach, we extract the $t$ dependence of the intensity of the resonances and of their phases. The $t$ dependence of the intensities of most resonances differs distinctly from the $t$ dependence of the nonresonant components. For the first time, we determine the $t$ dependence of the phases of the production amplitudes and confirm that the production mechanism of the Pomeron exchange is common to all resonances.
We present a determination of the mass, width and coupling of the strange resonances appearing in pion-kaon scattering below 1.8 GeV, namely the much debated $K^*_0(800)$ or $kappa$, the scalar $K^*_0(1430)$, the $K^*(892)$ and $K^*(1410)$ vectors, the spin-two $K^*_2(1430)$ as well as the spin-three $K^*_3(1780)$. The parameters of each resonance are determined using a direct analytic continuation of the pion-kaon partial waves by means of Pade approximants, thus avoiding any particular model description of their pole positions and residues, while taking into account the analytic requirements imposed by dispersion relations.
We study elastic pion-pion scattering in global linear moose models and apply the results to a variety of Higgsless models in flat and AdS space using the Equivalence Theorem. In order to connect the global moose to Higgsless models, we first introduce a block-spin transformation which corresponds, in the continuum, to the freedom to perform coordinate transformations in the Higgsless model. We show that it is possible to make an f-flat deconstruction in which all of the f-constants f_j of the linear moose model are identical; the phenomenologically relevant f-flat models are those in which the coupling constants of the groups at either end of the moose are small - corresponding to the global linear moose. In studying pion-pion scattering, we derive various sum rules, including one analogous to the KSRF relation, and use them in evaluating the low-energy and high-energy forms of the leading elastic partial wave scattering amplitudes. We obtain elastic unitarity bounds as a function of the mass of the lightest KK mode and discuss their physical significance.
The question of whether it is possible to compute scattering resonances of Schrodinger operators - independently of the particular potential - is addressed. A positive answer is given, and it is shown that the only information required to be known a priori is the size of the support of the potential. The potential itself is merely required to be $mathcal{C}^1$. The proof is constructive, providing a universal algorithm which only needs to access the values of the potential at any requested point.
Coupled-channel $pi K$ and $eta K$ scattering amplitudes are determined by studying the finite-volume energy spectra obtained from dynamical lattice QCD calculations. Using a large basis of interpolating operators, including both those resembling a $qbar{q}$ construction and those resembling a pair of mesons with relative momentum, a reliable excited-state spectrum can be obtained. Working at ${m_pi=391,mathrm{MeV}}$, we find a gradual increase in the $J^P=0^+$ $pi K$ phase-shift which may be identified with a broad scalar resonance that couples strongly to $pi K$ and weakly to $eta K$. The low-energy behavior of this amplitude suggests a virtual bound-state that may be related to the $kappa$ resonance. A bound state with $J^P=1^-$ is found very close to the $pi K$ threshold energy, whose coupling to the $pi K$ channel is compatible with that of the experimental $K^star(892)$. Evidence is found for a narrow resonance in $J^P=2^+$. Isospin--3/2 $pi K$ scattering is also studied and non-resonant phase-shifts spanning the whole elastic scattering region are obtained.
