Summary and Outlook
In this work we studied the sattering of the lightest otet of pseudosalar
mesons, the pion, the K-meson and the eta, o the nonet of vetor mesons
whihinludesthe
ρ
meson. Aformalismbasedonanon-linearintegralequa-tion is used to ompute sattering amplitudes. Solutions of the non-linear
integral equations omply with onstraints set by ausality and unitarity.
The main input into this equation are pretreated tree-level sattering
am-plitudes that were derived in the followingsteps: aninteration Lagrangian
basedonhiralandlarge
N c
argumentswasutilizedtoalulatethetreelevelamplitudes. It inluded the Weinberg-Tomozawa interation, three ounter
terms and the exhange of vetor mesons in the
s
-,t
- andu
-hannel. Theexhange of pseudosalar mesons wasnot onsidered in the nal alulation
beause of tehnial hallenges. It was illustrated how these issues an be
masteredinpriniplebut theatualalulationwasbeyondthe sopeofthis
work.
Thetree levelamplitudeswere thenpartial-waveprojeted andextrapolated
tohigherenergies basedonthe knowledge of theiranalyti struture. These
modied potentials denethe inputof the non-linear integralequations.
In a rst step, the spetrum was alulated for the Weinberg-Tomozawa
interation onlyand ompared to the previous results. The inuene of the
ounter termsand the orderof the analytialextrapolationof the sattering
amplitude were addressed. Then the spetrum for the full interation was
disussed in setors of partiular interest. Counter-terms were adjusted to
reprodue the mass and width of the
b 1 (1235)
exatly. In addition, theK 1 (1270)
wasinvestigatedinmoredetail. Itsmassisreoveredintheabsene ofanyounterterm. Thisisinonitwiththe signiantsizeoftheounterterms obtained from the study of the

dis-ussed, but improvements are desirable, espeially to keep the neessary
CPU-time in reasonable limits. Inluding these proesses we expet that a
reliableomputation of the D/S ratios inthe deays of the axial resonanes
isfeasible.
