Abstract

We review a method based on dispersion theory, that allows one to extract the scattering length of a hadronic two-body system from corresponding final-state interactions in production reactions. Possible theoretical uncertainties of the method are discussed. A particular case of the hyperon-nucleon final-state interaction is analyzed. A generalization of the method to the case of strangeness S = −2 and S = −3 systems is considered. The possibility to disentangle spin-triplet and spin-singlet scattering lengths by means of various polarization measurements is demonstrated by the examples of several production reactions in K−d and γd scattering.
