These amplitudes provide simultaneously a remarkable description of the resonance region up to 1.2 GeV as well as the low energy region, since they respect the chiral symmetry expansion. By studying the position of the poles in these amplitudes it is possible to determine the mass and width of the associated resonances, as well as to get a hint on possible classification schemes, that could be of interest for the spectroscopy of the scalar sector.engLight meson resonances from unitarized Chiral Perturbation Theorybook parthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1570564http://scitation.aip.org/http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0301049open access51-73Pi-pi-scatteringInverse amplitude methodMulti-quark hadronsOne-loopGev-cK scatteringPhase-shiftDecayLagrangiansParticleFísica-Modelos matemáticosFísica matemática
