Abstract

AbstractFirst, we discuss the conditions under which the non-relativistic and relativistic types of the Breit–Wigner energy distributions are obtained. Then, upon insisting on the correct normalization of the energy distribution, we introduce a Flatté-like relativistic distribution -denominated as Sill distribution- that (i) contains left-threshold effects, (ii) is properly normalized for any decay width, (iii) can be obtained as an appropriate limit in which the decay width is a constant, (iv) is easily generalized to the multi-channel case (v) as well as to a convoluted form in case of a decay chain and - last but not least - (vi) is simple to deal with. We compare the Sill distribution to spectral functions derived within specific QFT models and show that it fairs well in concrete examples that involve a fit to experimental data for the $$\rho $$ ρ , $$a_1(1260)$$ a 1 ( 1260 ) , and $$K^*(982)$$ K ( 982 ) mesons as well as the $$\varDelta (1232)$$ Δ ( 1232 ) baryon. We also present a study of the $$f_2(1270)$$ f 2 ( 1270 ) which has more than one possible decay channels. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the Sill distribution using the $$a_0(980)$$ a 0 ( 980 ) -$$a_0(1450)$$ a 0 ( 1450 ) and the $$K_0^*(700)$$ K 0 ( 700 ) -$$K_0^*(1430)$$ K 0 ( 1430 ) resonances as examples.
