Light-Quark Vector Meson Spectroscopy

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The current situation for vector meson spectroscopy is outlined, and it is shown that the data are inconsistent with the generally-accepted model for meson decay. A possible resolution in terms of exotic mesons is given. Although this resolves some of the issues, fresh theoretical questions are raised.
