« Well Hello There Turkeys!


The UK retailer hired NGP to build and manage their pop up location on the drag at The University of Texas. With an Austin/Music theme in place, the team designed and built window displays, dressing rooms, clothing racks, props, décor and lighting, as well as facilitated the launch party. The store was open for three weeks, and word quickly spread that it was a sight to see and the place to be.
NGP was hired to create a spooky, unforgettable experience for The Oudt's "Spooked Oudt Halloween Party" at their home. The team designed a projection system showing blood dripping down the front of the house, with additional projections creating dancing fire on the side of the house, and skulls on the garage door. NGP installed eerie, pulsing lights in the backyard, as well as floating apparitions, flicker flame chandeliers, and a creepy dance floor and DJ booth. The guests were thrilled, and the house was the talk of the neighborhood.
Brown Advisory launched their Austin division and asked NGP to help. The client wanted their guests to see their new location from a breathtaking vantage point, and Boiler Nine was a perfect choice with its upper deck, featuring old-school viewfinders pointing straight at the client's new office tower. Team NGP handled the communication with the developer, commercial leasing office and construction crew, and hung a massive, illuminated banner on the new building. Guests were impressed and astonished, from more than 3 blocks away!
NGP collaborates with Suzanne Court Catering on a number of exciting events, ranging from a wedding at Lady Bird Wildflower Center to a surprise party at the Austonian to an 80th birthday party at a private home. NGP's ambitious designs have included moving lights, personalized gobos, fabric and chandelier backdrops, and elaborate projections, as well as skilled production and event management.
NGP revamped Fair Market event space for Creative Action's annual fundraiser. The theme was country fair, and it was a carnival of a night featuring panning for gold, a hooch toss, fortune tellers, interactive art, photo booths, a "big hair" salon, and live performances. Creative Action is the largest youth arts organization in Central Texas, and raised valuable funds for its creative learning programs.

Yaseil "Wild Horse" Puig Valdes
By Dr. Paul Schienberg
The Los Angeles Dodgers' right fielder has a large name that fits his very significant size. Puig is 6'2" and weighs 240lbs. Even his jersey number is large (66) and his salary of $5.5 million is a huge step up from his years playing baseball in Cuba. Puig is just 26 years old. At a very young age, he was identified as the center of the next coming of a Dodger dynasty. On June 3rd of 2013 he made his major league debut. In that first year, Puig batted 319 with 19 home runs and 42 RBI's. The next year, he hit 16 home runs with 69 RBI's. In 2015, Puig hit 11 homers and had 45 runs batted in. In 2016, he hit 11 homers and drove in 45 run. Clearly these are numbers that did not meet up with the expectations of the Dodger's, Puig' s and his fans. The hype and his nickname were not matching with his performance.
Most of Puig's athletic problems became serious and apparent in 2015. He had developed hamstring issues that just didn't go away. In the vernacular of sports, he was initially thought of us as a stud. He has an incredible physique and natural ability. He had played for the Cuban national baseball team in the 2008 World Junior Baseball Championship and won a bronze medal. He defected from Cuba in 2012. So, what is going on with Puig?
In developmental terms, Puig seems to be psychologically underdeveloped even though his body does not let us in on it. We have to go further in investigating or vetting Puig beyond his statistics. Puig had been charged with reckless driving and speeding in Chattanooga, Tennessee in April of 2013. He was driving 97mph in a 50 mph zone. The following year Puig was arrested on a reckless driving charge for driving 110 mph in a 70 mph zone. The state of Florida dropped the reckless driving charge. Some may say "so what?" Maybe the Dodgers decided to overlook all of these warning flares. It is easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. I'm not trying to blame anyone here.
Puig performed certain antics while on the field. He might throw his bat in the air after a home run. The crowd loved it. At least they loved it when he was doing well. But, when his performance and health problems showed up, the cheers turned to jeers. These changes might have affected him very deeply. By 2016, Puig was sent down to AAA. Puig was not enjoying his baseball career. The Wild Horse was in a hole. Puig needs time to grow up and figure out how to be more disciplined in his personal and professional life. This may take some time. If everyone including Puig, management and fans can give him some time to become an adult, he might just develop into that stud. And by the way, the Dodgers should do a better job of vetting and understanding their future stars.

\section{Introduction}
\label{Intro}
The COMPASS collaboration reported the observation of a peak around 1420 MeV in the $f_0(980) \pi$ final state, with the pion in P-wave. Then, the $f_0(980)$ decays into $\pi^+ \pi^-$ in S-wave. This state was observed in the diffractive scattering of 190 GeV $\pi^-$ beam on a proton target \cite{Adolph:2015pws} and was claimed as a signal of a new resonance that was named the $"a_1(1420)"$ resonance, since the quantum numbers of the final state correspond to a $I^G(J^{PC})=1^-(1^{++})$ configuration. The signal was also observed in the VES experiment \cite{Khokhlov:2014nha} in the channel $\pi^- \pi^0 \pi^0$.

The triangular singularity played an important role describing the $\eta(1405)\to\pi^0 a_0(980)$ and the isospin forbidden $\eta(1405)\to \pi^0 f_0(980)$ decays measured in \cite{BESIII:2012aa} and studied theoretically in \cite{Wu:2011yx,Wu:2012pg}. A reevaluation of the triangular diagrams was done in \cite{Aceti:2012dj} providing a natural way to regularize the loops in the $\eta(1405)\to\pi^0 a_0(980)$ decay and giving a good description of the invariant mass distributions for the process. A search for related singularities in other physical processes has been done in \cite{Liu:2015taa}.

Recently a paper \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa} challenged the claim of the COMPASS peak as a signal of a new resonance, providing a natural explanation of it based on the triangular singularity that unavoidably stems from the decay of the $a_1(1260)$ resonance into $K^* \bar K$ followed by $K^* \to \pi K$, with the pion emitted and the remaining $K \bar K$ merging into the $f_0(980)$ resonance. It was also noted in \cite{Wang:2015cis} that, if the $a_1(1420)$ structure arises from the $K\bar K^*$ decay mode of the $a_1(1260)$, then the production rates of the $a_1(1420)$ in $B$ decays are totally determined by the rates for the $a_1(1260)$.

The triangle singularities were studied by Landau \cite{Landau:1959fi} and they appear from processes involving a Feynman diagram which has a loop with three intermediate particles, when the three of them are placed on shell and the momenta of the particles are collinear. Recently \cite{Guo:2015umn,Liu:2015fea,Guo:2016bkl}, the triangle singularities have also been advocated as an explanation for the observed peak in the $J/\psi p$ spectrum in the $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi K^- p$ \cite{Aaij:2015tga,Aaij:2014zoa} and $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi \pi^- p$ \cite{Aaij:2016ymb} decays, from where the existence of two pentaquarks states has been claimed (see recent talks of S. Stone at the Blois meeting \cite{sheldon} and T. Skwarnicki at the Meson Conference \cite{tomasz} on the latter reaction).  There is, however, a very important difference between the work of \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa} and those of \cite{Guo:2015umn,Liu:2015fea,Guo:2016bkl}, since in the latter works one does not have information on the couplings needed and then one does not have any idea on the strength of the singularity. On the contrary, in the work of \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa} the dynamics is well known and then a clear prediction of the strength of the singularity can be made. Thus, while the works of \cite{Guo:2015umn,Liu:2015fea,Guo:2016bkl} provide a speculation, the one of \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa} is more than that, since, if confirmed independently, then it offers a natural explanation for all the experimental facts observed in \cite{Adolph:2015pws}.

  The purpose of the present work is to provide an independent confirmation of the results and conclusions of \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa}. At the same time we offer a technically different derivation and we can provide an answer to questions which were left open in \cite{Adolph:2015pws}. An important one was to determine the interference of the $K^* K \bar K $ and $\rho \pi \pi$ loops, which could not be resolved in \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa}. Here we can do it, since we use the picture in which the
$a_1(1260)$ is dynamically generated from the $K^* \bar K$ and $\rho \pi$ channels \cite{Roca:2005nm} and the theory provides the coupling of the resonance to these channels with a well defined relative sign. There are also other details concerning the regularization of the loops and their technical evaluation, which, in our case, we do using elements of the chiral unitary approach. Yet, the final results are very similar in what concerns the position, width and relative strength of the peak, giving a boost to the idea raised in \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa}, and providing a natural description of the peak seen in \cite{Adolph:2015pws} that, in view of this, cannot be accepted as a new resonance, once a conventional explanation for it has been found. On the other hand, the findings of the present work offer a remarkable example of how a decay mode of one resonance can peak at $200$ MeV higher energy than the nominal resonance mass.

\section{Formalism}
\label{formalism}
We want to evaluate the amplitude for the decay of the $a^+_1(1260)$ to $\pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$. As mentioned in the introduction, we will consider the $a_1(1260)$ as dynamically generated in a two coupled channel problem with building blocks $\rho\pi$ and $\bar{K}^*K$. Thanks to this assumption, the decay process observed in \cite{Adolph:2015pws} can be evaluated by means of the triangular mechanism shown in Fig. \ref{fig:diagrams}.

In the four diagrams contributing to the process, the $a_1^⁺(1260)$ decays to the $\bar{K}^*K$ pair (diagrams $A)$ and $B)$) or to $\rho\pi$ (diagrams $C)$ and $D)$), followed by the decays of the $K^*$ to $\pi K$ and of the $\rho$ to $\pi\pi$. At this point, the two kaons or the two pions rescatter, leading to the $\pi\pi$ pair in the final state via the production of the $f_0(980)$ resonance.

The production mechanism is completely analogous to the one already used to evaluate the decay $f_1(1285)\to a_0(980)\pi$ and we follow the same procedure. All the details of the calculation of the amplitude can be found in Ref. \cite{Aceti:2015zva}, while in this work we will only report the fundamental steps for convenience.

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\includegraphics[width=15cm,height=9cm]{a1diag.pdf}
\caption{Feynman diagrams for the process $a_1^+(1260)\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$.}
\label{fig:diagrams}
\end{figure}

There are three vertices contributing to the diagrams. The $a_1PV$ vertex can be written as
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:vertex1}
-it_{1}= -ig_i\,C_1\epsilon_{a_1}^{\mu}\epsilon_{\mu}\, ,
\end{equation}
where $\epsilon_{a_1}$ is the polarization vector of the $a_1(1260)$ and $\epsilon$ the one of the $K^*$ for the diagrams $A)$ and $B)$ and of the $\rho$ for $C)$ and $D)$. The couplings $g_i$ of the $a_1(1260)$ to its building blocks, where $i=K^*\bar K,\,\rho\pi $, are obtained as the residue at the pole  of the scattering amplitude in $I=1$, which close to the pole can be written as
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:residues}
T_{ij}\simeq\frac{g_i g_j}{s-s_P}\, ,
\end{equation}
with $\sqrt{s_P}$ the position of the pole on the complex plane corresponding to the resonance.

In Ref. \cite{Roca:2005nm}, the authors get the following values for the couplings in isospin base,
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
g_{K^*\bar{K}}&=(1872-i1486)\,\textrm{MeV}\, ,\\
g_{\rho\pi }&=(-3795+i2330)\,\textrm{MeV}\, ,
\end{split}
\end{equation}
corresponding to a pole in $\sqrt{s_P}=(1011+i84)\ \textrm{MeV}$. We will use this same values throughout this entire work. However, the $a_1^+(1260)$ couples to the combinations with $I=1$, $C=+$ and $G=-$ of the $K^*\bar K$ and $\rho\pi$ pairs, which are represented by the states (for charge $+1$)
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\bar{K}^*K-K^*\bar K)&=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\bar{K}^{*0}K^+-K^{*+}\bar{K}^0)\, ,\\
\rho\pi&=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\rho^0\pi^+-\rho^+\pi^0)\, .
\end{split}
\end{equation}
The factor $C_1$ takes this into account and its values for the different diagrams of Fig. \ref{fig:diagrams} are listed in the second column of Table \ref{tab:factors}.

The structure of the vertex for the $PPV$ interaction can be evaluated by means of the hidden gauge symmetry Lagrangian \cite{hidden1, hidden2, hidden3, hidden4}
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:lagrangianhg}
\mathcal{L}_{PPV}=-ig\ \langle V^\mu [P,\partial_\mu P]\rangle\ ,
\end{equation}
where the symbol $\langle\rangle$ stands for the trace in $SU(3)$ and $g=\frac{m_V}{2f}$, with $m_V\simeq m_{ \rho}$ and $f=93$\textrm{ MeV}\ the pion decay constant. The matrices $P$ and $V$ in Eq. \eqref{eq:lagrangianhg} contain the nonet of the pseudoscalar mesons and the one of the vectors respectively.
The resulting amplitude for the vertex can be written as
\begin{equation}
-it_{2}=-i\,g\,C_{2}\,(P-q-2k)_{\mu}\epsilon^{\mu}\ ,
\label{eq:vertex2}
\end{equation}
where the factors $C_2$ for the different diagrams are shown in the third column of Table \ref{tab:factors}. Fig. \ref{fig:momenta} shows the momenta assignment.

The third vertex corresponds to the mechanism for the production of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ pair in the final state, after the rescattering of the $K\bar{K}$ or $\pi\pi$, that dynamically generates the $f_0(980)$ resonance \cite{npa} as intermediate state. We will write the vertex as
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:vertex3}
-it_3=-it_{if}\ ,
\end{equation}
where $t_{if}$ is the $if$ element of the $5\times 5$ scattering matrix $t$ for the channels $\pi^+\pi^-$ (1), $\pi^0\pi^0$ (2), $K^+K^-$ (3), $K^0\bar{K}^0$ (4) and $\eta\eta$ (5) \cite{Liang:2014tia}. We have $i=1,2,3,4$ for the diagrams D), C), A) and B) respectively, while the index $f$ stands for channel $1$. The $t$ matrix is obtained using the Bethe-Salpeter equation, with the tree level potentials given in Refs. \cite{npa, Gamermann:2006nm} and compiled in Ref. \cite{Liang:2014tia}. The loop functions for the intermediate states are regularized using the cutoff method and the peak of the $f_0(980)$ is well reproduced using a cutoff of $630$\textrm{ MeV}. We will need this parameter for the next steps of the calculation, being necessary in order to evaluate the loop integral in the diagrams of Fig. \ref{fig:diagrams}.

Using Eqs. \eqref{eq:vertex1}, \eqref{eq:vertex2} and \eqref{eq:vertex3}, we can write the expression of the amplitude for the four diagrams. As in Ref. \cite{Aceti:2015zva}, we will assume we are dealing with small three-momenta compared to the masses of the mesons, meaning that only the spatial components of the polarization vectors are different from zero. Hence, the completeness relation for the polarization vectors reduces to
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:completeness}
\sum_ {pol}\epsilon_{\mu}\epsilon_{\alpha}\simeq \sum_ {pol}\epsilon_{i}\epsilon_{j}=\delta_{ij}\ ;\ \ \ \ \ \ \mu=i,\ \ \alpha=j;\ \ i,j=1,2,3\ .
\end{equation}
The structure for the amplitude that we get is the same as in Ref. \cite{Aceti:2015zva}:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{eq:amplabcd}
t^{A,B}&=&g_{\bar{K}^*K}\, g\, C\, \vec{\epsilon}_{a_1}\cdot\vec{k}\,(2I_1+I_2)\,t_{if}\, ,\nonumber\\
t^{C,D}&=&g_{\rho\pi}\, g\, C\, \vec{\epsilon}_{a_1}\cdot\vec{k}\,(2I_1^{\prime}+I_2^{\prime})\,t_{if}\, ,
\end{eqnarray}
where the coefficients $C$ are simply given by the product of $C_1$ and $C_2$ and listed in the fourth column of Table \ref{tab:factors} and $I_1$, $I_2$, $I_1^{\prime}$ and $I_2^{\prime}$ are the loop integrals. We report here the expressions for the first two,
\begin{eqnarray}
I_1 &=& -\int \frac{d^3q}{(2\pi)^3} \frac{1}{8 \omega(q)
\omega^{\prime}(q) \omega^*(q)} \frac{1}{k^0 - \omega^{\prime}(q) -
\omega^{*}(q) + i \frac{\Gamma_{K^*}}{2}} \frac{1}{P^0 - \omega^*(q) - \omega(q) + i \frac{\Gamma_{K^*}}{2}} \nonumber \\
&& \times \frac{2P^0 \omega(q) + 2k^0 \omega^{\prime}(q) -
2(\omega(q) + \omega^{\prime}(q))(\omega(q)+\omega^{\prime}(q) +
\omega^{*}(q))}{(P^0 -
\omega(q)-\omega^{\prime}(q)-k^0+i\epsilon)(P^0+\omega(q)+\omega^{\prime}(q)-k^0-i\epsilon)}  ,\label{eq:loopintegral1}  \\
I_2 &=& -\int \frac{d^3q}{(2\pi)^3}
\frac{\vec{k}\cdot\vec{q}/|\vec{k}|^2}{8 \omega(q)
\omega^{\prime}(q) \omega^*(q)}
\frac{1}{k^0-\omega^{\prime}(q)-\omega^{*}(q) + i \frac{\Gamma_{K^*}}{2}}\,\frac{1}{P^0 - \omega^*(q) - \omega(q) + i \frac{\Gamma_{K^*}}{2}} \nonumber \\
&& \times \frac{2P^0 \omega(q) + 2k^0 \omega^{\prime}(q)-2(\omega(q)
+ \omega^{\prime}(q))(\omega(q) + \omega^{\prime}(q) +
\omega^{*}(q))}{(P^0-\omega(q) - \omega^{\prime}(q) -k^0 + i
\epsilon)(P^0 + \omega(q) + \omega^{\prime}(q) -k^0 -i \epsilon)}
,\label{eq:loopintegral2}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\omega(q)  = \sqrt{\vec{q}^{~2} + m^2_K}$, $\omega'(q) =\sqrt{(\vec q + \vec k)^2 + m^2_K}$, $\omega^*(q) =\sqrt{\vec{q}^{~2} + m^2_{K^*}}$ are the energies of the kaons and of the $K^*$ in the triangular loop. We included the finite width of the $K^*$ in its propagator, $\Gamma_{K^*}$, that we take equal to 48 MeV. The expressions for $I_1^{\prime}$ and $I_2^{\prime}$ are exactly the same with the substitutions $m_K\rightarrow m_{\pi}$, $m_{K^*}\rightarrow m_{\rho}$ and $\Gamma_{K^*}\to \Gamma_{\rho}$.

The upper limit for the numerical integrations in $d^3q$ of $I_1$, $I_2$, $I_1^{\prime}$ and $I_2^{\prime}$ is naturally provided by the chiral unitary approach, exactly as in Ref. \cite{Aceti:2015zva}, and it is given by the value of the cutoff for the loop function used in the meson-meson scattering to generate the $f_0(980)$, $q_{max}=630$ MeV. However, the integrals are already convergent without implementing $q_{max}$. The loops should also implement the cutoff used to generate the $a_1(1260)$, but its value is higher, around $1000$ MeV. Therefore, the use of $q_{max}=630$ MeV accounts for both cutoffs.

We can sum the diagrams proceeding via the $\bar K^* K$ loop (A) and B)) and the ones proceeding via the $\pi \rho$ loop (C) and D)) obtaining, respectively,
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\label{eq:abandcd}
&t_{\bar{K}^*K}=-g_{\bar{K}^*K}\,g\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\,\vec{\epsilon_{a_1}}\cdot\vec{k}\,(2I_1+I_2)\,(t_{31}+t_{41})=\tilde{t}_{\bar{K}^*K}\,\vec{\epsilon_{a_1}}\cdot\vec{k}\, ,\\
&t_{\rho\pi}=g_{\rho\pi}\,g\,\vec{\epsilon_{a_1}}\cdot\vec{k}\,(2I_1^{\prime}+I_2^{\prime})\,(t_{11}+\sqrt{2}t_{21})=\tilde{t}_{\rho\pi}\,\vec{\epsilon_{a_1}}\cdot\vec{k}\, ,
\end{split}
\end{equation}
with the total amplitude for the decay given by
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:total}
t_{\textrm{tot}}=t_{\bar K^*K}+t_{\rho\pi}\, .
\end{equation}
The factor $\sqrt{2}$ multiplying $t_{21}$ in $t_{\rho\pi}$ takes into account that in the evaluation of the $t_{if}$ amplitudes the normalization $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|\pi^0\pi^0\rangle$, appropriate for identical particles, is used and the good normalization must be restored.

We will use Eqs. \eqref{eq:abandcd} and \eqref{eq:total} to evaluate the invariant mass distributions of the process and its decay width.

\section{Results}
The invariant mass distribution for the process is given by
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:invdistr}
\frac{d\Gamma}{dM_{\textrm{inv}}}=\frac{1}{(2\pi)^3}\frac{1}{4m_{a_1}^2}\frac{1}{3}|\vec{k}\,|^3 p_{\pi}|\tilde{t}|^2\, ,
\end{equation}
where $M_{\textrm{inv}}$ is the invariant mass of the final $\pi^+\pi^-$ pair. We omitted the sub-index for $\tilde t$ implying that it can be $\tilde t_{\bar K^*K}$, $\tilde t_{\rho\pi}$ or $\tilde t_{\textrm{tot}}$. The momenta in Eq. \eqref{eq:invdistr} are defined as
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\label{eq:momenta}

which are the momentum of the pion of the interacting pion pair in the $\pi^+\pi^-$ rest frame and the momentum of the spectator $\pi^+$ in the $a_{1}(1260)$ rest frame, respectively.

We plot $d\Gamma/dM_{\textrm{inv}}$ as a function of $M_{\textrm{inv}}$ in the region of the $f_{0}(980)$ for $\tilde t_{\textrm{tot}}$ (thick line), $\tilde t_{\bar K^* K}$ (solid line) and $\tilde t_{\rho\pi}$ (dashed line) in Fig. \ref{fig:distr1230} using for the $a_{1}^+$ resonance the value of the mass reported in the PDG \cite{Agashe:2014kda}, that is $1230$ MeV. Changing the mass of the $a_{1}^+$, leads to a variation of the strength at the peak of the distributions. As it is shown in Fig. \ref{fig:distr}, where $d\Gamma/dM_{\textrm{inv}}$ is plotted for values of $m_{a_1}$ up to $1500$ MeV, the strength at the peak reaches its maximum when the mass of the $a_1^+$ is around $1400-1420$ MeV. This calculation is done ignoring the widths of the $K^*$ and $\rho$ to show the effect of the singularity, peaking around $1420$ MeV. When the widths are kept, the effect of the singularity is softened as can be seen in Fig. \ref{fig:widths}.

Integrating in the invariant mass Eq. \eqref{eq:invdistr} with $\tilde t=\tilde t_{\textrm{tot}}$, we can evaluate the width for the decay $a_1^+(1260)\to \pi^+f_0(980)$ taking into account that
\begin{equation}
\Gamma_{\pi^+f_0(980)}=\frac{3}{2}\,\Gamma_{\pi^+f_0(980)(f_0\to\pi^+\pi^-)}\, .
\end{equation}

In order to relate our findings to the results of Ref. \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa}, we also evaluate the width of the decay of the $a_1(1260)$ to its dominant decay channel $\rho\pi$, taking into account that
\begin{equation}
\Gamma_{\pi^+\rho^0}=\frac{1}{2}\Gamma_{\pi\rho}\, .
\end{equation}
The width $\Gamma_{\pi\rho}$ is given by the formula
\begin{equation}
\Gamma_{\pi\rho}=\frac{1}{8\pi}\frac{1}{m_{a_1}^2}\,g_{\rho\pi}^2\,\tilde p_{\rho}\, .
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\tilde p_{\rho}=\frac{\lambda^{1/2}(m_{a_1}^2, m_{\pi}^2, m_{\rho})}{2m_{a_1}}\, .
\end{equation}

\label{fig:widths}
\end{figure}
The widths for both processes are evaluated as a function of the mass of the $a_1^+(1260)$ and we plot them in Fig. \ref{fig:widths}, taking into account the widths of the $\rho$ and $K^*$ in the loops of Eqs. \eqref{eq:loopintegral1} and \eqref{eq:loopintegral2}.

\caption{Production of the $a_1(1260)$ by scattering of a high energy pion off a proton.}
\label{fig:full}
\end{figure}

At this point, we can evaluate the cross sections of the diagrams for the production of the $a_1(1260)$ decaying to $\pi^+f_0(980)$ shown in Fig. \ref{fig:full}, which can be obtained, up to a constant factor, by multiplying the decay widths $\Gamma_{\pi^+ f_0(980)}$ and $\Gamma_{\pi^+\rho^0}$ by the square of the propagator of the $a_1(1260)$, such that
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:cross}
\frac{d\sigma_{\pi^+X}}{ds}\propto\frac{1}{(s-m^{*2}_{a1})^2+(m_{a1}^*\Gamma_{a_1})^2}\,\Gamma_{\pi^+X}(s)\, ,
\end{equation}
where $\sqrt{s}=m_{a_1}$ is the center of mass energy of the decay, $m_{a_1}^*=1230$ MeV the nominal mass of the $a_1(1260)$ and $\Gamma_{a_1}$ its width, that we take equal to $350$ MeV. The sub-index $X$ in Eq. \eqref{eq:cross} stands for the $f_{0}(980)$ or the $\rho^0$ depending on the process considered. In the case of the decay to $\pi^+f_0(980)$, which proceeds via $p$-wave ($\vec{\epsilon}_{a_1}\,\cdot\vec{k}$ in Eq. \eqref{eq:abandcd}) we also multiply by the Blatt-Weisskopf correction factor for $L=1$
\begin{equation}
\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+(|\vec{k}\,|\,R)^2}}\, ,
\end{equation}
with $R=0.25$ fm \cite{Manley:1984jz}. We plot the cross sections for the two cases in Figs. \ref{fig:crossf0} and \ref{fig:crossrho} respectively.

\section{Discussion of the results}
It is interesting to comment on these results. In the first place, the use of the chiral unitary approach to produce the $a_1(1260)$ as dynamically  generated from the $\bar K^* K$ and $\rho\pi$ channels allows one to obtain its couplings to $\bar K^* K$ and $\rho\pi$ with no ambiguity up to a global, irrelevant sign. Indeed, the coupled channel approach makes possible to obtain $T_{ij}$, which close to the peak behaves as Eq. \eqref{eq:residues}, providing the couplings. From $T_{11}$, for instance, one can obtain $g_{1}^2$, with an ambiguity in the sign of $g_1$. However, once this is fixed, the other couplings are obtained using $T_{1j}$ such that $g_j/g_1=T_{1j}/T_{11}$ and all the relative signs of the couplings, which are what matters in the evaluation of the loops, are unambiguously determined. This is different from  the work of Ref. \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa}, where the relative sign of $\rho\pi$ to $\bar{K}^*K$ could not be fixed. The mixture of the two channels in the $a_1{1260}\to\pi f_0(980)$ decay is relevant, as one can see in Fig. \ref{fig:distr1230}, although, as claimed in Ref. \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa}, the $\bar K^* K$ channel is the most important. The way to regularize the loops is also different than in Ref. \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa} and we rely upon the chiral unitary approach, as we have explained before, to control the large $\vec{q}$ contribution in the loop integrals.

In spite of these differences, the results in Ref. \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa} are very similar in what concerns the shapes of the distributions and the relative weight of the $\pi^+f_0(980)$ and $\pi^+\rho^0$ decay modes, which comes to give support to the conclusions reached here.

In Fig. \ref{fig:crossrho} we can see the shape of the cross section for the $\pi^+p\to p\pi^+\rho^0$ reaction as a function of the invariant mass of the $\pi^+\rho^0$ system. We can see clearly the shape of the $a_1(1260)$ resonance, peaking around $1230$ MeV, and with its standard width.

However, the same process producing $\pi^+ f_{0}(980)$, the $\pi^+p\to p\pi^+f_0(980)$ reaction,  has a very different shape, as shown in Fig. \ref{fig:crossf0}. We see a peak around $\sqrt{s}=1420$ MeV as in the COMPASS experiment \cite{Adolph:2015pws}, with a width  of about $150$ MeV, as also observed experimentally. This peak at $1420$ MeV, as in Ref. \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa}, is due to the triangular singularity of the diagrams A) and B) of Fig. \ref{fig:diagrams}. This occurs when the particles inside the loops are all placed on shell and, on top of it, the momenta are parallel or antiparallel. We have checked that the singularity occurs around $\sqrt{s}=1420$ MeV, and the momentum of the $K^*$, coming from the $a_1(1260)$ decay at rest, is parallel to the one of the the $\pi^+$. The inclusion of the width of the $K^*$ in the loop has a smoothing effect on the signal, and this is in line with what was also concluded by the authors of Ref. \cite{Achasov:2015uua} in the case of the $\eta(1405)\to \pi^0f_0(980)$ reaction.

It is also interesting to mention that our formalism differs technically from the one normally used in the study of the triangular singularities, where the integrations are performed using the Feynman parametrization. Instead, we do analytically the integration in $q^0$, while the $d^3q$ integration, which revert into two integrals, is done numerically. The results of the loop functions in Eqs. \eqref{eq:loopintegral1} and \eqref{eq:loopintegral2} are rewarding, showing explicitly the different cuts in terms of the explicit variables when pairs of interacting particles are placed on shell. The two physical cuts in our case correspond to having the $a_1$ decay into $\bar K^* K$ with the two particles on shell and the $K \bar K$ nearly on shell to produce the $f_0(980)$.

There is one more important result to comment. So far, the quantum number of the peak at $\sqrt{s}=1420$ MeV correspond to those suggested in Ref. \cite{Adolph:2015pws}, since we look at the decay of the $a_1(1260)$. In addition, the peak position and the width also agree with those seen in the experiment. The last magnitude to compare is the relative strength of $\pi^+\rho^0$ and $\pi^+f_0(980)$ production. Comparing Figs. \ref{fig:crossf0} and \ref{fig:crossrho}, we see that the ratio of the $\pi^+f_0(980)$ signal to that of $\pi^+f_0(980)$ at their respective peaks is of the order of $1\%$, as also found in \cite{Ketzer:2015tqa}, and in good agreement with experimental results \cite{Adolph:2015tqa}.

As we can see, the features observed in the experiment \cite{Adolph:2015pws,Adolph:2015tqa} are nicely reproduced by the decay mode of the $a_1^+(1260)$ into $\pi^+f_0(980)$, which proceeds via a triangular loop that has a singularity around $\sqrt{s}=1420$ MeV and is responsible for the peak seen at this energy. We should note that the decay mode $\pi^+\rho^0$ does not show any enhancement in the $1420$ MeV  energy region, a feature also observed experimentally. This last feature is relevant. Indeed, one peculiar thing of the triangular singularity is that the peak appears only in the particular reaction studied, the $a_1(1260)\to \pi f_0(980)$ in the present case. Failure to see the peak in other reactions gives extra support to the explanation given here for the experimental peak of \cite{Adolph:2015pws}.
\section{Conclusions}
We have studied the decay mode of the $a_1^+(1260)$ into $\pi^+f_0(980)$ and $\pi^+\rho^0$. The production mode of the $\pi^+\rho^0$ pair is obtained from the chiral unitary approach that generates this resonance from the interaction of the coupled channels $\bar K^* K-cc$ and $\pi\rho$, which allows to determine the couplings of the resonance to these channels. Also the $\pi^+f_0(980)$ production makes use of the chiral unitary approach for the dynamical generation of the $f_0(980)$ from the interaction of the $\pi\pi$, $K\bar K$ and $\eta\eta$ channels. In the present case, the $a_1(1260)$ decays to $\bar K^* K$ or $\pi\rho$, the $K^*$ decays to $K\pi$ and the $\rho$ to $\pi\pi$. After that, the resulting $K\bar K$ or $\pi\pi$ rescatter to produce the $f_0(980)$, which decays into the observed $\pi^+\pi^-$ channel. This decay mode is special since the triangle loop develops a triangular singularity around and energy of $1420$ MeV for the original $a_1$ state, which is produced in $\pi p$ reactions at high energies. We have shown that the position of the peak, its width and the relative weight of the $\pi^+f_0(980)$ production mode relative to the $\pi^+\rho^0$ one are all in agreement with the experimental findings. We could show that all these magnitudes appeared without the use of any free parameter extra to those inherent in the chiral unitary approach and, hence, they are absolute predictions of the theory. Having found a natural explanation for a peak based on known facts, our conclusion is that the ``$a_1(1420)$'' peak does not correspond to a new resonance but is just the manifestation of the decay mode of the well known $a_1(1260)$ resonance into the $\pi f_0(980)$ mode.

On the other hand, one should stress that the present finding is rather remarkable, in the sense that it produces a peak for a decay mode of the resonance at an energy about 200 MeV higher than the nominal mass of the resonance.  This is quite a unique finding, and it might shed light into other cases seen in the PDG, where masses of the resonances are found rather different depending on the decay mode studied.

The first time I had a pizza primavera it struck me that only the Italians would name a season after a pizza. Well, it turns out us Brits are just as bad. The village of Cheddar lies beneath the famous cliffs of Cheddar Gorge, where presumably they mine the renowned cheese that the Somerset village is named after. The gorge cuts through the limestone Mendip Hills in the south west of England, and over our five day stay we did exactly the two things you're supposed to do: hiking the hills and drinking cider.
The Cider Barn really doesn't need a marketing department. It's a barn; they serve cider. What more do you need to know? I'd be exaggerating if I said the first night we popped in the piano player stopped mid-stride and and all the guys reached for their Colt 45s. But only slightly. The barkeep, Bear-Strangler Rockhard (or Nigel to his face), told us rather than asked us what to drink. But by day two we were considered regulars, and offered some of the special under-the-counter scrumpy that's fermented with a dead sheep in the barrel and gives you only a 50% chance of any sight loss becoming permanent.
This was odd. We came across this dumped old bus in a ditch and covered in bushes. It wasn't near any roads so I've no idea how it got there. I don't know much about vintage vehicles, but this looks to me to date from the '50s or '60s. I'd recently watched A Simple Plan, so it did occur to me there might be a dead driver and four million dollars inside. Fortunately not, and I haven't since been caught in a wicked web of lies, deceit and murder. Not really what you want when you're trying to have a relaxing holiday.
I think you're doing pretty well if you can wear a working cocker spaniel out. Although to be fair, for every mile we walked Coco ran at least three.

Ein Kantersieg ist ein überlegener und gleichzeitig leicht errungener Sieg in einem Sportwettkampf.

Der Begriff wird vor allem in Ballsportarten gebraucht, in denen das Spielergebnis in Toren, Körben oder Punkten gemessen wird, "wenn eine Mannschaft … ungewöhnlich viel mehr Tore als der Gegner erzielt".

Ursprung
Die Bezeichnung ist englischen Ursprungs und wurde erstmals in den Canterbury Tales des 14. Jahrhunderts mit "Canterbury gallop", "Canterbury pace" oder "Canterbury trot" als Ausdruck für die Pilger verwendet, die zu Pferd nach Canterbury ritten, um den Schrein Thomas Beckets zu besuchen, und sich dadurch die ansonsten weitaus mühevolleren Pilgerreisen vereinfachten, aber doch gemächlicher ritten als normalerweise.

Hieraus entwickelte sich das im Englischen erstmals 1755 nachweisbare Verb to canter, das für Formulierungen wie to ride a horse at a canter im Pferdesport für die Pferdegangart zwischen Galopp und Trab übernommen wurde und sich später auch im Deutschen mit Kanter als Bezeichnung für leichten Galopp oder Arbeitsgalopp durchsetzte.

In der Schweiz gibt es auch den Begriff Kanterniederlage.

Who Murdered Yvonne "Bonnie" Nicholson in 2001?
The young woman was strangled and dumped alongside the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa. In 2007, two more women were found strangled, and police considered a possible connection between all three crimes.

The Quad Cities comprise four cities – two in Illinois and two in Iowa. On the Illinois side, there is Moline and Rock Island; on the Iowa side, Bettendorf and Davenport.
Yvonne "Bonnie" Nicholson was born in Rock Island on February 21, 1969, and resided there her entire life. Bonnie worked in several factories and frequented Baldie's and Buck's Tap in Rock Island and possibly downtown Davenport.
At age 27, she pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a controlled substance and a forgery charge in two separate incidents.
Bonnie was placed on two years probation for both convictions. After violating the terms of her probation, a Rock Island County Circuit judge revoked her probation and sentenced her in November 1999 to over three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
Bonnie, 32, was released from prison on November 2, 2001. Ten days later, at around 9:30 a.m. on Monday, November 12, two construction workers spotted Bonnie's body near Davenport's Credit Island, partially submerged along the banks of the Mississippi River about five feet from shore and 75 feet from the road near South Concord Street.
Bonnie was clothed only in a sweatshirt, shorts, and socks.
Jody Ewing writes, "The Davenport Fire Department provided officials with a ladder truck to get an overhead look at the scene, and investigators took photos inside the bucket at the ladder's tip. Officials constructed a plywood walkway through the mud and shallow water to retrieve Nicholson's body from the river."
Police identified Bonnie using fingerprints on file in Rock Island County, Capt. David Struckman said.
Bonnie's body was transported to Rockford, Illinois, for an autopsy the day after her murder. The autopsy concluded that she had been strangled.
In August 2003, the Quad Cities area was experiencing a severe late-summer drought, and the Mississippi River was noticeably low. Average rainfall during August was 4.41 inches; that year, only 1.70 inches of rain had fallen. The drought had left the crime scene dry for the first time since Bonnie's death.
Detectives returned to the crime scene and sifted through the thick mud left by retreating water in the river.
Investigators excavated a 20-foot-by-15-foot area and sifted through the mud looking for Bonnie's belongings and clues to her killer. One used a metal detector inside the search perimeter, and while it beeped a few times, the detective did not find anything of value to the investigation.
Police never arrested anyone in Bonnie's homicide, and her case remains unsolved. Nearly six years later, two more women would be brutally killed in the Quad-Cities area.

Angela "Angie" Hennes was born in Omaha on November 4, 1964, to William and Linda Hennes. She attended Davenport schools, graduating high school in 1985. Afterward, Angie enrolled at Scott Community College.
Angie gave birth to her first son, Matthew William Hennes, in 1983. Her second son, Daniel Jacob Priester, was born 15 years later.

Angie had struggled with drugs. During a custody trial involving Daniel, she and Daniel's father both admitted to being addicted to crack cocaine at the time of the boy's birth.
Angie also had a criminal past involving forgery, theft, and prostitution and spent some time in prison. In late 2006, she moved into an apartment at 411 W. 4th Street in Davenport.
On Wednesday, January 3, 2007, temperatures reached 50 degrees with a low of 31. Angie, 41, and her boyfriend went out that night, but Angie never returned home.
Then, on January 13, 2007, farmer Gerald Bolt was checking his property in the 15000 of 100th Avenue around 4 p.m. when he found Angie's burned body face down in a fetal position near a patch of burned grass. She had duct tape on her mouth.
Bolt had previously checked his property on January 10.
Toxicology reports showed Angie did not have alcohol or drugs in her system. The medical examiner concluded she had been dead for two or three days at most, despite having been missing for ten days. She had been strangled with a zip tie and was five months pregnant.
Police learned that Angie's cell phone had shut off the day she disappeared.
Angie's boyfriend said he last saw her at about 9 p.m. on January 3, 2007, heading to the grocery store. He thought he might have seen her entering a vehicle later.
Angie was often seen walking alone or with her boyfriend on fourth, third, and second streets between her residence and Myrtle Street.
Agnes McFedries-Kennedy

Born on September 28, 1956, to Scotty and Jean McFedries, Agnes McFedries-Kennedy was the oldest of four children. Her family came to the U.S. from Scotland. Her parents called her Aggie.
Agnes graduated from Davenport Central High School & Iowa State University in Ames with a teaching degree. She worked as a teacher's aide for less than a year at Davenport's Williams Intermediate School.
By age 26, Agnes was divorced. The newly single mother could not support herself and her three children on a teacher's aide salary. She quit her job and started working in a seedy massage parlor that she later admitted was a front for sex work.
Agnes had an addiction to crack cocaine and would sometimes disappear for days; her three sisters would search for her. If they found her, they would encourage her to seek help. She also had been in trouble with the law on numerous occasions, primarily minor offenses, including prostitution and harassing a public official.
When Angie Henness was murdered, Agnes was in a drug rehabilitation center. She wrote in one of her journals, "Nobody should die at the hands of a freak! I don't want to die like that. Angela … It could have been me."
The last family member to speak with Agnes was her sister Jean McFedries on a phone call. Agnes did not want to invite her daughter's boyfriend, William Morgan, to Christmas dinner, and Jean got mad at her for it, not seeing any harm in asking him.
Morgan and Agnes' daughter, Desiree Kennedy, lived together at 801 W. 15th St., Davenport, and he was known to be physically abusive.
On Saturday, December 22, 2007, Agnes, 51, went to work. She was last seen at Chuck's Tap in Davenport, where she got change for a hundred-dollar bill and left.
Later that night, a couple returning home found Agnes unconscious in a wet downtown alley sandwiched between west seventh and eighth streets in the 1800 block. They called the police around 8:30 p.m.
The weather kept changing from rain to sleet to snow, so her body lay in puddles, which likely destroyed potential evidence.
Agnes wore a red and white top, tan pants, and black socks. Her coat, purse, and shoes were missing. Her body was still warm to the touch when found. There were indications that Agnes had fought her attacker.
Paramedics transported Agnes to a local hospital, but they could not revive her, and she was pronounced dead.
Autopsy results showed Agnes had been strangled, like Angie and Bonnie.
Police spent the holiday weekend gathering evidence and interviewing Agnes' family and friends to determine her whereabouts on December 22.
Throughout the police investigation, there were several persons of interest, including Morgan. While Morgan had been in and out of prison, he was not named a suspect in Agnes' killing, although he remains a person of interest.
Another man, Jesse Stewart, lived near the crime scene. He claimed he was a minister trying to help Davenport prostitutes. In reality, he would lure them to his house, lock them up in his basement and give them crack cocaine in exchange for sex. He is serving a life sentence for drugs.
Chad Welsh: A Killer Caught
In June 2011, Scott County deputies charged Chad Welsh of Burlington with first-degree murder. DNA found at the Hennes crime scene matched his DNA on file from previous unrelated child pornography charges in 2008.
A few months later, in 2012, a jury found Welsh, 34, guilty after he admitted to hiring Angie for sex and choking her during the encounter but not with the intent to kill. He was sentenced to life in prison.
Police considered Welsh a person of interest in Bonnie and Agnes's murders due to the similarities. All three women were found strangled to death, had criminal histories, and were sex workers. However, there is no evidence linking Welsh to Agnes and Bonnie's murders.
Agnes's family believes someone known to Agnes killed her. However, the police think a random stranger is responsible.
I have been to Davenport a few times. I don't like the downtown area; a lot of shit happens there. However, farther north, by the Northpark Mall on Kimberly Road, you will find a nice shopping area with motels, restaurants, gas stations, etc. I like that part of Davenport. The crimes in this article occurred in the downtown area.
I chose to lead my article with Bonnie's case. Unlike Agnes and Angie, the local media have not covered her homicide nearly as much. I think you can figure out why. It's irritating. I found a 2002 QC-Times article titled "3 Ex-cons Slain After Getting Out." Bonnie is one of the three. JFC, she was a human being! The other two mentioned were men.
I do not believe Welsh killed Agnes or Bonnie. Angie's body was discovered nearly eight miles from Agnes's location and seven miles from Bonnie's.
Bonnie was found dressed only in a sweatshirt, shorts, and socks, suggesting that she might have been home relaxing, maybe watching television, and her killer took her from her apartment. I think she knew her killer, and they might have knocked on her door, and she answered. I hate that there is not a lot of info on Bonnie's case.
Agnes was also found without shoes, but I do not think her murder is related to Bonnie's, although it is possible. There is a possibility that Morgan killed Agnes. From what I read, he had served some time in prison, but I'm not sure why. But would he kill her over not being invited to Christmas dinner?
Well, maybe not, but it does not sound like Agnes liked him, and we know he was abusive to Desiree. So, there could have been tension between Agnes and Morgan before her murder.
Angie's autopsy revealed she had only been dead three days at the most. Investigators had no idea back then where she had been for 10 days before her murder. I could find nothing on this after Welsh's arrest. Was she with him the entire time or someone else before Welsh hired her?

The Consultation Center is a university-based, community organization that conducts community-based research and offers a range of services and training to individuals, organizations, schools, companies, and governmental agencies throughout Connecticut, the U.S. and internationally. The Center's mission is to promote health and wellness, prevent mental health and substance abuse problems, and enhance equity and social justice. Since its inception in 1976, the Center has been a collaborative endeavor of the Yale School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry, the Connecticut Mental Health Center and The Consultation Center, Inc. (a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization).
Center staff includes a combination of Yale faculty and staff, as well as staff from The Consultation Center, Inc. We have expertise in a wide array of areas including training, consultation, program and service system evaluation, research, professional development, community education, child and youth development, parenting, workplace wellness and targeted programming for adults, elder supports and services, substance abuse and its prevention, trauma, family and community violence, child maltreatment, community programs for formerly incarcerated youth and adults, and community and systems development. Our work draws upon multiple perspectives from the disciplines of psychology, social work, public health, psychiatry, education, sociology, management, and administration.
Where does The Center's work take place?
Our work takes place in a variety of settings, including community organizations, schools, government agencies, health care settings, companies, universities, childcare agencies, senior centers, and neighborhood organizations.
Over the past 25 years, a team at The Consultation Center has partnered with states to evaluate their systems of care for children and adults with severe emotional and behavioral difficulties. These evaluation efforts have included the establishment of state-wide performance indicator systems, longitudinal outcome studies, community-based participatory research efforts in which Center faculty have partnered with service recipients to provide guidance to decision makers, and evaluations of specific program components. Center faculty and staff have received recognition from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for their work in this area.
This program can often be the deciding factor that keeps students from dropping out of high school. GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) is a national initiative that began in 1999 with funding from the U.S. Department of Education. Our program focuses on helping more than 2,800 students in Bridgeport, providing them with the skills and aspirations they need to graduate from high school and succeed in a productive, post-secondary educational option of their choice. The funding for this project targets students who are in the graduating classes of 2014 and 2017 and will follow those students from seventh grade through their freshman year in college.
YDTRC is a youth services organization that will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2014. The organization primarily serves as a capacity building intermediary for individuals, programs, organizations, networks and funders. YDTRC offers special projects that focus on youth engagement and youth leadership development related to serious issues impacting young people such as police relations, alcohol and drugs and violence prevention.
This program involves a public-academic partnership between the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth, and Families and Yale University, and focuses on the evaluation of services for children, adolescents, and families. The Data Analytic Center faculty also conduct field research and administrative studies to answer critical questions about services that help inform best practices, service enhancement, and policy development. A number of reports and documents produced through the Data Analytic Center can be found here: http://www.dcyf.ri.gov/data_evaluation.php.
For nearly three decades, the Center has been a statewide leader in offering violence prevention services to adult offenders and victims of domestic violence. The Center focuses on understanding how women's daily lives are impacted by the traumas they have been through, which can result in PTSD and/or substance abuse. By working collaboratively with The Greater New Haven Domestic Violence Task Force, Center staff aim to tackle these issues as a community. Each year, they also lead ongoing groups for male and female offenders, including individuals who are monolingual Spanish speaking. The Center's research will ultimately lead to the development of programs for victims in the community.

RUMOR: Horizon Forbidden West Has Been Delayed to 2022
Rizwan Anwer Published February 26, 2021
Horizon Forbidden West is still one of the most sought after PS4/PS5 titles that is expected to be released in the new console generation, but it seems that the game could be missing its 2021 release window and move to 2022. We already were in for a year of delays, but this could add to Jason Schreier earlier report that 2021 will be a year of delays.
Sorry folks, Horizon Fordbieen West will be swimming your way in 2022.
Jason Schreier is a known video games industry authority who has a meticulous track record. At the start of the year, he stated that 2021 would be the year of delays, starting with Hogwarts Legacy.
The first of many, many 2021 game delays to come https://t.co/5kXylDn9AK
— Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) January 13, 2021
It comes as no surprise that we should be prepared for more, but these would also include more prominent names like the God of War sequel.
I've got a nice shiny bridge to sell anyone who thinks God of War is coming out this year
— Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) February 23, 2021
However, while we do know that God of War will not release in 2021, it seems that we can add Horizon Forbidden West to the list as well.
And while we can't give Jason the credit for this, there is someone equally known for being right twice before.
Anton Logvinov is a known Russian gaming blogger who has been right twice in the past. He was the first person to state that Death Stranding and Horizon Zero Dawn would come to PC before any of the english publications or journalists picked it up.
я тебе еще хорайзон туда же запишу
— Anton Logvinov (@alogvinov) February 25, 2021
In the main tweet, someone has listed games that are releasing in 2022, Anton chimes in with a reply stating to add Horizon Forbidden West to the list.
While Sony held their State of Play yesterday and showed relatively good titles, the only title that is holding its 2021 release date so far is Returnal. It seems that there is little hope for us to see the God of War Sequel or Horizon Forbidden West release in 2021, and a 2022 release date is more likely.
As unfortunate as it might seem, it is very likely that many studios are still not recovered from the pandemic and will need more time to properly work on the games if they are to avoid another major industry debacle.
