Description

Significant progress in description of pi-pi amplitudes has been recently made [1,2]. We present amplitudes fitted both to well known and to newest experimental data. In fits we use additional theoretical constraints from forward dispersion relations, sum rules and from twice and once subtracted dispersion relations. The latter two (so called Roy's and GKPY equations) are derived with imposed crossing symmetry condition for the pi-pi S and P waves and provide strong constraints for errors of phase shifts and inelasticities below 1 GeV. In this way very demanding and model independent test for pi-pi amplitudes fitted to experimental data is constructed and proposed. We show that constraints from this test imposed on the pi-pi amplitudes lead to very precise determination of parameters of the f0(600) (sigma) pole and pi-pi threshold parameters in good agreement with ChPT. We compare once and twice subtracted dispersion relations and conclude that the former ones provide more stringent consistency check for parameterizations of the pi-pi amplitudes. Our analysis is based only on unitarity, analyticity and crossing symmetry. References: [1] B. Ananthanarayan et al., Phys. Rept. 353, 207 (2001). [2] R. Kaminski, J.R. Pelaez and F.J.
