Comments on the dispersion relation method to vector-vector interaction

Authors

Abstract: We study in detail the method proposed recently to study the vector-vector interaction using the

N / D

method and dispersion relations, which concludes that, while for

J = 0

, one finds bound states, in the case of

J = 2

, where the interaction is also attractive and much stronger, no bound state is found. In that work, approximations are done for

N

and

D

and a subtracted dispersion relation for

D

is used, with subtractions made up to a polynomial of second degree in

s - s_{m} a t h r m t h

, matching the expression to

1 - V G

at threshold. We study this in detail for the

h o - h o

interaction and to see the convergence of the method we make an extra subtraction matching

1 - V G

at threshold up to

(s - s_{m} a t h r m t h)^{3}

. We show that the method cannot be used to extrapolate the results down to 1270 MeV where the

f_{2} (1270)

resonance appears, due to the artificial singularity stemming from the "on shell" factorization of the

h o

exchange potential. In addition, we explore the same method but folding this interaction with the mass distribution of the

h o

, and we show that the singularity disappears and the method allows one to extrapolate to low energies, where both the

(s - s_{m} a t h r m t h)^{2}

and

(s - s_{m} a t h r m t h)^{3}

expansions lead to a zero of

m a t h r m R e, D (s)

, at about the same energy where a realistic approach produces a bound state. Even then, the method generates a large

m a t h r m I m, D (s)

that we discuss is unphysical.
