Title Precision dispersive approaches versus unitarized Chiral Perturbation Theory for the lightest scalar resonances $\sigma$ and $\kappa$.
Abstract For several decades, the \sig and \kap resonances have been subject to long-standing debate. Both their existence and properties were in controversy until very recently. In this mini-review we compare model-independent dispersive and analytic techniques versus unitarized Chiral Perturbation Theory when applied to the lightest scalar mesons $\sig$ and $\kap$. Generically, the former have settled the long-standing controversy about the existence of these states, providing a precise determination of their parameters, whereas unitarization of chiral effective theories allow us to understand their nature, spectroscopic classification and dependence on QCD parameters. Here we review in a pedagogical way their uses, advantages and caveats.
