Applications of dispersion relations to the COMPASS reaction pi p —> eta pi p.

Abstract
We propose to study the reaction pi- p —> pi- eta p, whose data have been collected by the COMPASS collaboration. 
The goal is to develop the so-called ``finite-energy sum rules’’ for this reaction, that will allow to constraints better the production of exotic meson. 
The student will first understand these constraints on a toy model (based on Veneziano amplitudes) and will subsequently apply them to the reaction under consideration.
