Abstract

The elastic amplitude describing a scattering of a free particle on a two-particle bound state is here considered as a function of cosθ, where θ is the scattering angle. The two-body interactions were taken to be s-wave and separable. Our results are: (1) The on-shell amplitude is analytic inside a Lehmann ellipse for all real energies, except for a finite interval on the negative E axis, and (2) for negative energy, the off-shell amplitude is analytic in the whole cosθ plane, apart from possible real left and right cuts, and in the Lehmann ellipse. Its asymptotic behavior in cosθ is determined by the leading Regge trajectory.
