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.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2011.08.022http://arxiv.org/abs/1105.3366http://www.sciencedirect.comopen access53Quark-Mass DependenceVector Form-FactorPerturbation-TheoryPionQcdLatticeFísica (Física)22 Física
