Abstract

The master formula approach to chiral symmetry breaking is used to analyze the phase shifts for ππ scattering in the elastic region. The results are in excellent agreement with the data for the phase shifts up to the KK̄ threshold. In the resonance region the bulk of the vector current contribution is found to be fixed by the electroproduction data in a model independent way. Our analysis shows that the ππ data near threshold in the scalar channel favor a large quark condensate in the vacuum, i.e. <q̄q> ∼ -(240 MeV)3.
