Dispersion relations for γ ∗ γ ∗ → ππ: helicity amplitudes, subtractions, and anomalous thresholds

Abstract We present a comprehensive analysis of the dispersion relations for the doubly-virtual process γ ∗ γ ∗ → ππ. Starting from the Bardeen-Tung-Tarrach amplitudes, we first derive the kernel functions that define the system of Roy-Steiner equations for the partial-wave helicity amplitudes. We t...
