We match the known chiral perturbation theory representation of the pi pi scattering amplitude to two loops with a phenomenological description that relies on the Roy equations. On this basis, the corrections to Weinberg's low energy theorems for the S-wave scattering lengths are worked out to second order in the expansion in powers of the quark masses. The resulting predictions, a00=0.220 \pm 0.005, a20=-0.0444 \pm 0.0010, contain remarkably small uncertainties and thus allow a very sensitive experimental test of the hypothesis that the quark condensate is the leading order parameter of the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry.

  1. Role of electromagnetic corrections in the $\pi\pi$ distributions of $\psi^\prime \to J/\psi \pi \pi$

    Electromagnetic corrections alter the π⁺π⁻-threshold cusp magnitude by ~2–3% in ψ′→J/ψπ⁰π⁰, so they must be included for precision extraction of S-wave ππ scattering lengths.
