A new perspective for the magnetic corrections to $\pi$-$\pi$ Scattering Lengths in the Linear Sigma Model

Abstract

In this article, a new perspective for obtaining the magnetic evolution of $\pi -\pi$ scattering lengths in the frame of the linear sigma model is presented. When computing the relevant one-loop diagrams that contribute to these parameters, the sum over Landau levels --emerging from the expansion of the Schwinger propagator-- is handled in a novel way that could also be applied to the calculation of other magnetic-type corrections. Essentially, we have obtained an expansion in terms of Hurwitz Zeta functions. It is necessary to regularize our expressions by an appropriate physical subtraction when $|qB|\to 0$ ($q$ the meson charge and $B$ the magnetic field strength). In this way, we are able to interpolate between the very high magnetic field strength region, usually handled in terms of the Lowest Landau Level (LLA) approximation, and the weak field region, discussed in a previous paper by some of us, which is based on an appropriate expansion of the Schwinger propagator up to order $|qB{|}^2$. Our results for the scattering lengths parameters produce a soft evolution in a wide region of magnetic field strengths, reducing to the previously found expressions in both limits.
