The method clarifies the relation between K-matrix and T-matrix poles.
Eigenphase behavior presents challenges in resonance analysis.
Abstract
We extract K-matrix poles from our fits to elastic pion-nucleon scattering and eta-nucleon production data in order to test a recently proposed method for the determination of resonance properties, based on the trace of the K-matrix. We have considered issues associated with the separation of background and resonance contributions, the correspondence between K-matrix and T-matrix poles, and the complicated behavior of eigenphases.
