RT Journal Article T1 Finite-temperature pion scattering to one loop in chiral perturbation theory A1 Llanes Estrada, Felipe José A1 Gómez Nicola, Ángel A1 Peláez Sagredo, José Ramón AB We present the pion-pion elastic scattering amplitude at finite temperature to one-loop in chiral perturbation theory. The thermal scattering amplitude properly defined allows to generalize the perturbative unitarity relation to the T 0 0 case. Our result provides a model independent prediction of an enhanced pion-pion low-energy phase shift with the temperature and it has physical applications within the context of relativistic heavy ion collisions.
