New Insights on Low Energy $\pi N$ Scattering Amplitudes: Comprehensive Analyses at $\mathcal{O}(p^3)$ Level

Abstract

A production representation of partial-wave $S$ matrix is utilized to construct low-energy elastic pion-nucleon scattering amplitudes from cuts and poles on complex Riemann sheets. Among them, the contribution of left-hand cuts is estimated using the $\mathcal{O}(p^3)$ results obtained in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory within the extended-on-nass-shell scheme. By fitting to data on partial-wave phase shifts, it is indicated that the existences of hidden poles in $S_{11}$ and $P_{11}$ channels, as conjectured in our previous paper~\citep{Wang:2017agd}, are firmly established. Specifically, the pole mass of the $S_{11}$ hidden resonance is determined to be $(895\pm 81)-(164\pm 23)i$ MeV, whereas, the virtual pole in the $P_{11}$ channel locates at $(966\pm 18)$ MeV. It is found that analyses at the $\mathcal{O}(p^3)$ level improves significantly the fit quality, comparing with the previous $\mathcal{O}(p^2)$ one. Quantitative studies with cautious physical discussions are also conducted for the other $S$- and $P$-wave channels.
