The width is derived for the pole on the third sheet which is closest to the physical axis. 2  Solution A (preferred solution based on ${{\mathit \chi}^{2}}$-analysis). 3  Dispersion theory based amplitude analysis of BOYER 1990, MARSISKE 1990, BEHREND 1992, and MORI 2007. 4  Solution B (worse than solution A; still acceptable when systematic uncertainties are included).
