High-Energy Behavior of Chiral Lagrangians and the Processπa+α→πb+πc+β

Abstract

Weinberg's approach to the high-energy behavior of chiral Lagrangians is applied to the process $\pi +\alpha \to 2\pi +\beta$, and it is shown that the algebraic relations required to give good asymptotic behavior in this process are the same as those which give good behavior in the reaction $\pi +\alpha \to \pi +\beta$.
