Different methods to include the final state interactions are discussed and their range of validity is indicated. We, furthermore, show that Dalitz plots for the proton-meson invariant mass spectra at different energies should be suited to distinguish between final state interactions and resonant production amplitudes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-04-15T13:35:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "final state interactions", "threshold meson production", "pp collisions", "approximately constant production matrix elements", "proton-meson invariant mass spectra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 498384, "adsabs": "1999nucl.th...4046S" } } }
