Coupled-channel study of axial-vector mesons with realistic t- and u-channel exchanges

In this thesis, the significance of t- and u-channel exchange processes in the formation of axial-vector mesons is studied. The analysis is based on a chiral Lagrangian for light vector mesons. A non-linear integral equation based on unitarity and causality is used to unitarize the scattering amplit...
