摘要
We extend the usual chiral perturbation theory framework (chi PT) to allow the inclusion of a light dynamical isosinglet scalar. Using lattice QCD results, and a few phenomenological inputs, we explore the parameter space of the effective theory. We discuss the S-wave pion pion scattering lengths, extract the average value of the two light quark masses and evaluate the impact of the dynamical singlet field in the low-energy constants (I) over bar (1), (I) over bar (3) and (I) over bar (4) of chi PT. We also show how to extract the mass and width of the sigma resonance from chiral extrapolations of lattice QCD data. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
