Meson-meson scattering within one loop Chiral Perturbation Theory and its unitarization

We present the complete one-loop calculation of all the two meson scattering amplitudes within the framework of SU(3) Chiral Perturbation Theory, which includes pions, kaons and the eta. In addition, we have unitarized these amplitudes with the coupled channel Inverse Amplitude Method, which ensures simultaneously the good low energy properties of Chiral Perturbation Theory and unitarity. We show how this method provides a remarkable description of meson-meson scattering data up to 1.2 GeV including the scattering lengths and the generation of seven light resonances, which is consistent with previous determination of the chiral parameters. Particular attention is paid to discuss the differences and similarities of this work with previous analysis in the literature.
