Very clean and strong signals are obtained for the $a_0(980)$ excitation in the $\\eta \\pi$ invariant mass distribution and for the $f_0(500)$ in the $\\pi^+ \\pi^-$ mass distribution. A smaller, but also clear signal for the $f_0(980)$ excitation is obtained. The results are contrasted with experimental data and the agreement found is good, providing yet one more test in support of the picture where these resonances are dynamically generated from the meson-meson interaction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-13T14:38:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "production", "final state interaction", "chiral unitary approach", "invariant mass distribution", "meson-meson interaction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
