Synchonisation of Resonances with Thresholds

Abstract

The mechanism by which a resonance may be attracted to a sharp threshold is described with several examples. It involves a threshold cusp interfering constructively with either or both (i) a resonance produced via confinement, (ii) attractive t- and u-channel exchanges. More generally, it is suggested that resonances are eigenstates generated by mixing between confined states and long-range meson and baryon exchanges.
