We study coupled channel effects upon isospin I=2 and I=0 ππ S-wave interaction. With introduction of the ππ→ρρ→ππ coupled channel box diagram contribution into ππ amplitude in addition to ρ and f2(1270) exchange, we reproduce the ππ I =2 S-wave and D-wave scattering phase shifts and inelasticities up to 2 GeV quite well in a K-matrix formalism. For I=0 case, the same ππ→ρρ→ππ box diagram is found to give the largest contribution for the inelasticity among all possible coupled channels including ππ→ωω→ππ, [Formula: see text]. We also show why the broad σ appears narrower in production processes than in ππ scattering process.
