RT Journal Article T1 When hadrons become unstable: a novel type of non-analyticity in chiral extrapolations. A1 Llanes Estrada, Felipe José A1 Guo, F.-K A1 Hanhart, C A1 Meißner, U.-G AB Hadron masses show a specific dependence on the quark masses. Therefore, the variation of these masses can cause a resonance in a hadronic scattering amplitude to become a bound state. Consequently, the amplitude exhibits a non analytic behavior at this transition. Crossed amplitudes, where the resonance can be exchanged in the t-channel, can be shown to exhibit the same phenomenon by s --> t analytic continuation. This entails possible kinks in lattice quark-mass extrapolations needed to compute hadronic observables.
