We consider meson-baryon interactions in S-wave with strangeness -1. This is a sector populated by plenty of resonances interacting in several two-body coupled channels. We consider a large set of experimental data, where the recent experiments are remarkably accurate. This requires a sound theoretical description to account for all the data and we employ Unitary Chiral Perturbation Theory up to and including O(p^2). The spectroscopy of our solutions is studied within this approach, discussing the rise from the pole content of two Lambda(1405) resonances and of the Lambda(1670), Lambda(1800), Sigma(1480), Sigma(1620) and Sigma(1750). We finally argue about our preferred fit.
We consider meson-baryon interactions in S-wave with strangeness -1. This is a non-perturbative sector populated by plenty of resonances interacting in several two-body coupled channels.We study this sector combining a large set of experimental data. The recent experiments are remarkably accurate demanding a sound theoretical description to account for all the data. We employ unitary chiral perturbation theory up to and including cal{O}(p^2) to accomplish this aim. The spectroscopy of our solutions is studied within this approach, discussing the rise from the pole content of the two Lambda(1405) resonances and of the Lambda(1670), Lambda(1800), Sigma(1480), Sigma(1620) and Sigma(1750).

We derive a simple relation between strangeness neutrality and baryon-strangeness correlations. In heavy-ion collisions, the former is a consequence of quark number conservation of the strong interactions while the latter are sensitive probes of the character of QCD matter. This relation allows us to directly extract baryon-strangeness correlations from the strangeness chemical potential at strangeness neutrality. The explicit calculations are performed within a low energy theory of QCD with 2+1 dynamical quark flavors at finite temperature and density. Non-perturbative quark and hadron fluctuations are taken into account within the functional renormalization group. The results show the pronounced sensitivity of baryon-strangeness correlations on the QCD phase transition and the crucial role that strangeness neutrality plays for this observable.
In this work we extend our formalism to study meson-baryon interactions by including $s$- and $u$-channel diagrams for pseudoscalar-baryon systems. We study the coupled systems with strangeness $-1$ and focus on studying the isospin-1 resonance(s), especially in the energy region around 1400 MeV. By constraining the model parameters to fit the cross section data available on several processes involving relevant channels, we find resonances in the isoscalar as well as the isovector sector in the energy region around 1400 MeV.
Integral equations for meson-baryon scattering amplitudes are obtained by utilizing time-ordered perturbation theory for a manifestly Lorentz-invariant formulation of baryon chiral perturbation theory. Effective potentials are defined as sums of two-particle irreducible contributions of time-ordered diagrams and the scattering amplitudes are obtained as solutions of integral equations. Ultraviolet renormalizability is achieved by solving integral equations for the leading order amplitude and including higher order corrections perturbatively. As an application of the developed formalism, pion-nucleon scattering is considered.
The meson-baryon interactions in s-wave in the strangeness S=-1 sector are studied using a chiral unitarity approach based on the next-to-leading order chiral SU(3) Lagrangian. The model is fitted to the large set of experimental data in different two-body channels. Particular attention is paid to the $Xi$ hyperon production reaction, $bar{K} N rightarrow K Xi$, where the effect of the next-to-leading order terms in the Lagrangian play a crucial role, since the cross section of this reaction at tree level is zero.
